Table 6. Characteristics and ingredients of cell-based meat analogs

Brand Country Product Meat analogs Manufacturing technology
Aleph Farms Israel Steak (beef) type Fertilized cow eggs are used, and young cells are cultured in a separate incubator to mature into various cell types. Additionally, a plant protein matrix is used to form the shape and texture.
BlueNalu United States Seafood (tuna) type After obtaining and cultivating various cell types from the desired fish species, the cells are concentrated to form seafood parts.
Bluu Biosciences Germany Seafood (salmon) type Cell-based meat analogs produced with non-GMO trout and salmon cell lines using animal serum-free growth media.
CellMEAT South Korea Seafood (shrimp) type Development of cell line production technology to produce cell-based meat analogs, serum-free cell culture fluid source technology, and support physical texture realization technology using engineering technology.
DaNAgreen South Korea Meat (beef) type Muscle tissue culture using a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold derived from vegetable protein.
Finless Foods United States Seafood (tuna) type Cell-based meat analogs are manufactured through the differentiation of bluefin tuna tissue-derived cells.
Fork & Good United States Ground meat (pork) type Increased yield and production density by growing without a scaffold through a patented biological process.
Future Meat Technologies Israel Meat (chicken) type A floating cultivation method and plant-based meat analogs based scaffolds for adipogenic differentiation.
GOOD Meat United States Meat (chicken) type Immortalized cells grow and differentiate in culture. Afterward, processing (e.g, molding and 3D printing) is performed.
Gourmey France Foie gras (duck) type Stem cells from duck eggs are cultured, and cultured cells are harvested to produce products.
Joes Future Food China Meat (pork) type Cell-based meat analogs are produced using low-cost serum-free medium, carrier-free cell suspension culture, and multi-channel precision control-based cell-based meat analogs printing.
Meatable The Netherlands Sausage (pork) type Developing and refining its process to grow cell-based meat analogs using opti-oxTM technology without ever needing to use fetal bovine serum (FBS).
Steakholder Foods Israel Meat (beef) type Creation of meat fiber texture based on extruding paste material through a narrow nozzle.
Mission Barns United States Bacon type Producing cultured fat intended for addition to plant-based meat analog animal products.
Mosa Meat The Netherlands Patty (beef) type Selected meat cells are cultured in a growth medium that does not contain animal ingredients, differentiated, and myotubes are placed in a gel composed of 99% water to grow into tissue.
HN Novatech South Korea Meat (beef) type Research on 3D printer technology for the production of cell-based meat analogs and the development of technology to overcome antibiotic resistance.
SeaWith South Korea Meat (beef) type ACe-gel (algae-based cell culture gel) is developed and used as the basis for cell-based meat analogs, and the cell culture medium also uses microalgae to replace FBS.
Shiok Meats Singapore Seafood (lobster) type Cells are matured by culturing them in a nutrient-rich culture medium.
Space F South Korea Sausage (pork) type Muscle tissue is created using an edible scaffold of muscle stem cells extracted from cows, pigs, and chickens by means of muscle stem cell culture techniques specialized for each livestock species, using a 3D differentiation technique. Mass culture optimization shortens the cell culture period and increases cell culture yield.
SuperMeat Israel Meat (chicken) type Cells constituting chicken muscle, fat, and tissue are collected and cultured in a meat fermenter that provides an appropriate environment.
TissenBio Farm South Korea Meat (beef) type Selected cells are obtained from muscle and fat tissue, and the meat is cultured by supplying nutrients in a sterilized incubator that resembles a beer fermentation tank.
Upside Foods United States Meat (chicken) type Primary cells are obtained, and cell lines are formed and cultured with the same nutrients needed in the animal body.
Vow Food Australia Meat (beef) type Meat product production and animal cell culture.
Wildtype United States Seafood (salmon) type Cells collected from salmon are cultured in an incubator similar to a fermentation tank used in brewing, then harvested and combined with plant ingredients.
