When will I be able to buy your products?
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!
Where will Peace of Meat products be available?
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.
How is cultured meat made?
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:
- We extract a tiny droplet of stem cells from a carefully-selected egg.
- We place the cells in a cultivator that mimics the conditions of a warm animal body.
- We help it grow by feeding it nutrients, vitamins, oxygen and sugar (glucose).
- We watch in awe as the cells naturally multiply.
- We give the cells a little help, so they mature into muscle, fat or liver cells.
- After a few weeks, we harvest the cells and process them into delicious food (paté, foie gras, ground meat, hybrid products, etc.)
- Once we have our starter cells, we can multiply them forever.
How long does it take to grow cultured meat?
It takes about a month to go from a few stem cells to a finished cultured meat product.
Do you use genetic modification or antibiotics?
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.
What types of meat do you cultivate?
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
Does cultured meat provide the same nutrients as real meat?
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.
Is cultured meat suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
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.
Is cultured meat better for the environment than farmed meat?
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.
Can I invest in Peace of 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
