Steakholder Foods, formerly MeaTech 3D, a technology company developing cultured meat products, has revealed its latest move to establish, own and operate a pilot plant to commence scaled-up cultured chicken fat production in 2022. Simon Fried, head of business development at Steakholder Foods, formerly MeaTech 3D, speaks to FoodIngredientsFirst about the future plans and evolution, its latest acquisition and the technology behind the company’s success.

“The goal is to have that facility be something that can leverage commercial attraction by the end of next year,” he explains. “It’s certainly something that should take us beyond internal use and engage us with the outside world in a commercially viable way.”
