24 Jul 2024 --- Meatly recently received UK regulatory clearance to sell cultivated meat for pet food, marking a landmark decision. CEO and co-founder of the company, Owen Ensor, sat down with Food Ingredients First to discuss this leap forward for the nascent cultivated food industry. In this in-depth interview, he dives into how cultivated chicken is produced and how scale-up and commercialization are now on the horizon following last week’s regulatory approval. Crucially, he addresses how slaughter-free pet food offers dog and cat owners a way to negotiate the paradox of feeding their beloved pets with meat from animal livestock.
