In Singapore, GOOD Meat has broken ground on Asia’s largest cultivated meat production facility.
The complex, scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2023 at JTC Bedok Food City, will have the capacity to produce tens of thousands of pounds of slaughter-free meat from cells. The buildout will also house the single-largest bioreactor in the cultivated meat industry to date.
Local production will help GOOD Meat meet growing consumer demand for its chicken products, which have been available for purchase in Singapore since the country became the first to approve a cultivated meat product for human consumption in December 2020. Subject to regulatory approval, GOOD Meat parent company Eat Just hopes to also export to other countries in Asia.
“Less than two years ago, Singapore made history, and since that moment, consumers have enjoyed the world’s first and only commercially available slaughter-free meat at high-end restaurants, hawker stalls and in their own homes,” says Eat Just Co-Founder and CEO Josh Tetrick. “We view Singapore as vital in our plans to build this new approach to making meat. We’ll launch new products here, distribute to other countries in Asia from here and learn from consumers here who have proven themselves to be at the cutting edge of what’s next.”
