sraeli food tech Future Meat Technologies has opened its first industrial cultured meat facility. They claim that it’s the world’s first. The factory has the capacity to make 5,000 cell-based burgers per day, a major step from pilot to scalable production. Now, it’s set its sights on bringing its cultured meat to U.S. shelves as soon as next year.

Future Meat Technologies has opened its new facility, bearing a capacity of 500 kilograms of cultured meat per day—equating to 5,000 burgers. It can produce real chicken, pork and lamb without any animals or GMOs. Soon, the factory will be able to produce beef too. 

Armed with its proprietary cultured meat process, Future Meat’s factory can produce cultured meat at a much faster rate. Compared to traditional animal agriculture, Future Meat speeds up the process by as much as 20-fold.
