Upside Foods develops animal-free growth medium for cell-based meat

Upside Foods develops animal-free growth medium for cell-based meat. Dive Brief: Upside Foods has developed an animal-component-free cell growth feed, which it uses to help its cells grow into meat. The company has been working toward this goal for years. The cell-growth medium contains essentially the same components as traditional animal growth feed — amino acids, lipids, sugars, vitamins, minerals, water and other nutrients to help cells thrive, said Upside Foods Senior Vice President of Product and Regulation Eric Schulze. The animal-free growth medium works as effectively as its predecessors that used proteins taken from animals, he said, causing no big changes in growth process or time. Growth medium is one of the pricier components of cultivated meat. Schulze would not comment on the cost of the animal-free growth medium, but said that Upside's cultivated chicken products are currently at a cost comparable to premium animal-derived chicken, and are less expensive than market prices of some conventional cuts of poultry.
