What’s on the menu for your pet tonight? It could be cultivated chicken very soon if you live in the UK. Meatly a European company, has received regulatory approval to sell cultivated chicken for pet food in the UK. Samples will be commercially available this year in smaller batches, but the company aims to reach industrial volumes in the next three years. This is promising news as we continue to realise the $12.5B bioeconomy opportunity in Canada. At Ontario Genomics, we are committed to building the agriculture and food space through the power of Ontario’s genomics technologies. Cellular agriculture encompasses several innovative approaches to make food products and other materials. This includes food ingredients (such as proteins, enzymes, and vitamins), fermented products (such as dairy, chocolate, and honey), cellular/cultivated products (red meat, poultry, and pet food), and non-food cellular agriculture products like textiles (such as leather, wool, and silk). This is why Ontario Genomics has partnered with n!Biomachines to create a Bioengineering Hub, a 25,000 sq ft facility for small and medium biotechnology companies to access laboratory space and bioreactors. This allows businesses to test and scale up their products and build the future of Canadian agriculture and food. As part of our commitment to building this economy, Ontario Genomics invested in bioreactors to be used in this dedicated facility.
