Meatable Hosts First Cultivated Meat Tasting in European Union
Meatable, the innovative food tech company on a mission to deliver cultivated meat at scale, has successfully hosted the first-ever legally approved cultivated meat tasting in the European Union. This landmark event is a groundbreaking milestone for the industry, as Meatable continues to blaze the trail for cultivated meat tasting approvals across the continent and globally on a fast track to commercialization.
Tastings are essential to gain valuable feedback to inform product optimization on the road to regulatory approval and commercialization. Following approval from the independent Expert Committee sanctioned by the Dutch government on its dossier including extensive product safety data, Meatable welcomed a number of guests to its new headquarters in Leiden, the Netherlands, to enjoy its delicious cultivated pork sausages. Among those who participated in the tasting were Michelin starred chef Ron Blaauw, Constantijn van Oranje, Prince of the Netherlands and Special Envoy, Techleap; and entrepreneur Ira van Eelen, whose father Willem van Eelen is considered the founder of cultivated meat.
