Not Plant Based. Cultivated Meat is Real Meat, Without The Slaughter

Meet Dawn the pig.A small sample was taken from Dawn and grown in cultivators which mimic Dawn's body. The same sample was fattened with nutrients that Dawn loves. At the end, we had the same tasty meat we all love, but Dawn still leads a complete and happy life at a sanctuary.In a world where factory farming is the only widespread practice to address increasing meat demand, Clean Meat Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, seeks to make more stories like Dawn's possible.

FAQS

What is Cultivated Meat?

Cultivated meat is real meat made without slaughtering an animal. A small sample from a living animal is taken and grown in a cultivator, creating delicious meat without the horrific conditions.

Various heroes have tried to take on factory farming including small local farmers, regenerative agriculture advocates, and plant based chefs, but it's difficult to compete with a cruel, efficient, and cheap factory farm machine. Cultivated meat offers a high throughput alternative that can end factory farming for good.

Various studies have found that between 28% and 60% of people are willing to try cultivated meat in the U.S depending on how cultivated meat is explained. In the UK, nearly half of Gen Z say they will eat cultivated meat products.

Initially, no. Cultivated meat is still being researched, so the first versions will not taste exactly the same or have the same texture. The initial versions will not exactly match the nutrient profile either, since most companies are aiming for flavor. More research is needed, funded by people like you, for cultivated meat to surpass the taste and nutritional profile of farmed meat. In the meantime, companies like Mission Barns, Wildtype, and Upside Foods are making cultivated meat mixed with plant based products, so you can already taste test the first versions at restaurants or tasting events near you.

You can taste test the earliest versions of cultivated meat mixed with plant based products at the following locations:

  • Wildtype: Wildtype salmon is served at Kann in Portland, OR, Kingfisher in Tucson, AZ, Robin in San Francisco, CA, and The Walrus and the Carpenter in Seattle, WA
  • Mission Barns: Mission Barns has various tasting events like this one at a retail chain in San Francisco.
  • Upside Foods: Upside Foods hosts various tasting events for their cultivated chicken all around the U.S. Follow them for more information.
  • GOOD Meat GOOD Meat's chicken is served in various restaurants and hawker stalls across Singapore. You can purchase a retail version of their product, containing 3% cultivated meat, at Huber's Butchery in Singapore.
  • Workers: Slaughterhouse workers suffer from mental health issues due to the toll of killing so many animals in horrible ways. They also suffer from a high injury rate. Cultivated meat will significantly reduce the number of animals that need to go through these slaughterhouses, decreasing the burden on these workers while providing more humane employment opportunities elsewhere in the cultivated meat industry.
  • Animals in factory farms: Clean meat provides a real meat alternative to factory-farmed meat that can hit price parity.
  • Climate: Some estimates predict that cultivated meat will be more energy-efficient than beef and pork easily, and more energy-efficient than chicken once clean energy is used.

Our Campaigns

Campaign #1: A $20,000 grant to fund new lines of cultivated meatUnderstanding how a sample from an animal functions outside the body isn't easy. This grant helps us grow new types of cultivated meat outside of the animal.

Campaign #2: Encourage 50 new volunteers to speak against factory farms
