A company in New Jersey has created the first ever lab-grown pork, hoping to provide a lower-carbon food staple for people around the world. Here's what the factory is doing to get cell-based meat off the ground — and what it means for the planet.
Gupta, who once ran a hydroponic farming company in Singapore, believes that there are opportunities for lab-grown meat to attain efficiencies impossible on a farm. A pig, she pointed out, takes in about four times as much feed as it produces in edible meat. But a pig also has to grow hoofs, a snout, ears, a spinal column, a tail. Lab-grown meat needs none of that. In theory, she argues, cultivated pork could reach a feed conversion of almost 1 to 1 — a pound of feed for a pound of pork.
Indeed, I found myself reaching for words to describe the taste other than “porky.” The texture felt a tiny bit smoother than a normal dumpling filling, but that could have been simply the preparation. Like many cultivated meat products, the Fork & Good pork was also a hybrid — majority animal cells, but with some pea protein and vegetable oil mixed in. The scientists can’t yet produce porkeasily, and so the oil subs in for it.
