Cultivated meat - statistics & facts
At the end of 2020, Singapore was the first country to ever approve a cultivated meat product (also called cultured meat). Luxury restaurant 1880 offered its customers an opportunity to try out the first ever lab-grown chicken in a series of three dishes for 23 U.S. dollars. The meat was supplied by the American start-up Eat Just. For comparison, the first cultured meat product ever made, a beef burger patty presented in 2013 by the Dutch start-up Mosa Meat, had a price tag of around 330,000 U.S. dollars. By now, over 150 companies are trying to capitalize on the emerging cultured meat market.
