Frequently asked questions

All good things take time. Our team of sci­ent­ists is work­ing day and night to bring our tasty cul­tured meat products to stores and res­taur­ants near you. Want to be the first to know when our products will be avail­able? Sign up to our news­let­ter or fol­low us on Linked­In to stay in the loop!

In the first phase, you’ll be able to try our deli­cious Peace of Meat products at our own tast­ing events or a selec­ted club of chefs and part­ners. Can’t wait? Nor can we! Keep an eye on our socials for upcom­ing tast­ings. As we scale up our pro­duc­tion, we’ll work with more and more res­taur­ants, gro­cer­ies and super­mar­kets to make sure that you can find our products any­where you go.

A few avi­an cells, nutri­ents, oxy­gen, a warm envir­on­ment and a splash of rock­et sci­ence. That’s all we need to grow cul­tured meat.

Here’s how we make the magic hap­pen:

1. We extract a tiny droplet of stem cells from a care­fully-selec­ted egg.
2. We place the cells in a cul­tiv­at­or that mim­ics the con­di­tions of a warm anim­al body.
3. We help it grow by feed­ing it nutri­ents, vit­am­ins, oxy­gen and sug­ar (gluc­ose).
4. We watch in awe as the cells nat­ur­ally mul­tiply.
5. We give the cells a little help, so they mature into muscle, fat or liv­er cells.
6. After a few weeks, we har­vest the cells and pro­cess them into deli­cious food (paté, foie gras, ground meat, hybrid products, etc.)
7. Once we have our starter cells, we can mul­tiply them forever.

It takes about a month to go from a few stem cells to a fin­ished cul­tured meat product.

No, we only use non-GMO avi­an cells that are nat­ur­ally present in chick­en or duck eggs. Our cul­tiv­a­tion pro­cess does not involve any anti­bi­ot­ics.

In this first stage our focus is on poultry products. We’ve dis­covered a spe­cial type of cells in a chick­en egg that are optim­ally suited to cul­tiv­ate in a biore­act­or. No less import­ant: we’ve also figured out a unique tech­nique to extract these cells from chick­en eggs. Start­ing from just a few cells, we can grow anim­al cells (a.k.a. meat) out­side of an actu­al anim­al. The pos­sib­il­it­ies are truly end­less. For now, launch­ing our cul­tiv­ated poultry products is the top pri­or­ity. But who knows what the future may bring

It sure does! Peace of Meat products ARE real meat, just made in a dif­fer­ent way than farmed meat. That means that all our cul­tured products are high in pro­tein and essen­tial amino acids. As they are derived from actu­al chick­ens and ducks (without touch­ing one feath­er, we prom­ise), the nutri­ents are pretty much the same as well.

No. We need anim­al cells to make cul­tiv­ated meat, so it’s not veget­ari­an or vegan. How­ever, as we just extract a few cells from an egg, there is no anim­al suf­fer­ing involved in our products.

As cul­tiv­ated meat is a rather new tech­no­logy, a lot of research still has to be done. There are already a few stud­ies on the envir­on­ment­al impact (CO2-emis­sions, water use, …) of cul­tured meat. Even though it’s still too early to draw def­in­ite con­clu­sions, the first res­ults seem very pos­it­ive, espe­cially in com­par­is­on to farmed meat.

Although we’re not act­ively on the lookout, we’re always look­ing for fel­low cham­pi­ons to change the future of meat. Feel free to send us an email on investors@​peace-​of-​meat.​com
