Mosa Meat

Mosa Meat is a cultivated meat company founded in 2016 and based in Maastricht, the Netherlands, growing out of the research of Professor Mark Post, who unveiled the first cultured beef burger in 2013. The company was formed to produce beef without raising and slaughtering cattle, addressing the land, water and emissions footprint of conventional beef production.

Its process starts from a small sample of muscle stem cells taken from a cow, expanded in bioreactors using a proprietary cell-culture medium; a single sample can theoretically yield tens of thousands of burgers. Mosa Meat reports reaching cost parity for restaurant-ready pricing after cutting production cost by 99.999 percent from its first 2013 burger, and offers food industry partners both its cultivated beef and its underlying cell-cultivation technology, with regulatory filings under review in the UK, EU, Switzerland and Singapore.

1. Cell-based cultivation: muscle stem cells from cattle are expanded in bioreactors to grow beef tissue.
