World’s largest vats for growing ‘no-kill’ meat to be built in US

Commitment to building four-storey bioreactors is gamechanger for cultivated meat industry, says expert

The building of the world's largest bioreactors to produce cultivated meat has been announced, with the potential to supply tens of thousands of shops and restaurants. Experts said the move could be a gamechanger" for the nascent industry.

The US company Good Meat said the bioreactors would grow more than 13,000 tonnes of chicken and beef a year. It will use cells taken from cell banks or eggs, so the meat will not require the slaughter of any livestock.
