Alt meat startups experience decreased investor enthusiasm, resulting in harder-to-secure funding. Companies like Upside Foods, Believer Meats, and Good Meat previously attracted over $1.6 billion from 2021 to 2022, while plant-based firms like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat also saw significant investments. Currently, large financing rounds for cellular meat and plant-based firms have declined in both frequency and size. The largest recent round, $100 million, went to Meati, which produces mycelium-based products, while Heura Foods, This, and Tender Food received smaller investments for various plant-based meats. No major funding rounds targeted lab-grown meat, likely due to technical, consumer, and regulatory challenges. Many alt protein startups may struggle and close, especially in the cultivated meat segment, due to difficult economics, but consumers still have ample plant-based meat options.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to the next episode in our new series Ethical Edibles! This series will see me sit down with leaders in brands from around the world who have strong ethical beliefs underpinning their companies. Over the next several months, you'll hear about how food can be so much more than sustenance. On this episode, I sit down with Phil Graves, CEO of Meati. We discuss the revolutionary protein made from mushroom roots. Meati aims to provide a sustainable and delicious alternative to traditional meat with the use of a mushroom root protein which is a complete protein free from saturated fat and cholesterol. Meati's growth has been rapid, expanding from 6 supermarket locations to 7,000 in just over a year. In addition to that, we talk about the balancing of ethical missions and profit in business, the problems this industry has had, and the company's goal to make mushroom root protein accessible to people of all income levels globally. https://meati.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oliver-hall/message

One of the simplest ways to combat climate change is already on restaurant menus and grocery store shelves. Plant-based meats have been gaining popularity. One U.S. company is using mushroom root to make its products. They use less land and water than is needed to raise animal meat and produce, which in turn lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Plant-based meats and seafood have already made meaningful strides, but still make up just 2% of the world's global protein consumption, according to the market research company Euromonitor. The cost of plant-based meat is often higher than animal meat, but industry experts say taste, not price, is the biggest barrier to widespread adoption. Colorado-based Meati makes chewy, fibrous steak filets and chicken cutlets from mushroom roots and a handful of other ingredients, like chickpea flour. The company says its chicken cutlet has fewer calories, less cholesterol and nearly as much protein as animal chicken. “We're able to achieve a texture that's very close to the real thing,” says Dina Paz, Meati's executive chef. “That's going to get you an eating experience that's really close to a whole muscle type of cut versus something that's ground or already pre-made for you.” The company expects to eventually produce more than 40 million pounds of produce annually at its 100,000-square-foot Mega Ranch in Thornton, Colorado. That's about 160 million four-ounce servings, or half the amount of steak served each year at Chipotle, one of Meati's biggest investors. Meati's president and chief operating officer, Scott Tassani, says the company thinks its combination of better taste, fewer ingredients and improved nutrition, produced at a scale that could bring down costs, could help revitalize the U.S. plant-based meat market. “We're able to draw more consumers in that are traditional carnivores and/or increase the amount of usage from flexitarians, those consumers that eat traditional meat but also consume alternative protein,” he says.

With the opening of Yuan Wonton's new shared brick-and-mortar restaurant in Park Hill, the food trend of the fall is officially the humble dumpling. But what can we consider to be a dumpling? Is it just a pocket of dough filled with … something?

Sixteen years ago, Sweetgreen set out to redefine how consumers perceive fast food by offering crave-worthy meals made with clean and traceable ingredients and sold at an affordable price. Co-founder Nicolas Jammet has long been at the forefront of Sweetgreen's menu strategy, and in his role as chief concept officer, he is tasked with maintaining the company's high standards for quality and consistency in every bowl, snack and beverage sold in its restaurants. With nearly 160 locations across the U.S. and plans for 1,000 total by 2030, his job is becoming increasingly complex.

In this episode, Jammet spoke about the process by which Sweetgreen curates its offerings and designs new products, how he evaluates CPG brands before adding them to the menu, how the company utilizes technology to enhance productivity without compromising culture and shared lessons for new and emerging entrepreneurs about how to build a sustainable business.

FoodBev Media's Lauren Ford rounds up this week's food and beverage news, including: Swire to buy Coca-Cola bottlers in Vietnam and Cambodia; Diageo to construct €200 million carbon-neutral brewery in Ireland; Meati Foods raises $150m in Series C funding round; and more.
Tyler Huggins is the Co-Founder and CEO of Meati, an alt protein startup creating fungi-based substitutes for chicken, beef, and more. In this episode, we'll chat about the current state of modern consumers' relationship to meat, how Meati is providing a superior alternative through its nutritional profile, and how it's been able to attract a roster of culinary thought leaders in the industry.
Livestock take up nearly 80% of global agricultural land yet produce only 20% of the world's supply of calories—so how can we make feeding people more efficient? In this season two premiere of Unseen Upside, we visit an alternative protein company in Boulder, Colorado called Meati. There, we explore how a nutrient-rich fungi called mycelium is changing the game when it comes to protein consumption. It's better for people and the planet—yet somehow doesn't compromise on flavor. We'll learn about the future of nutritional ecosystems from Sam Kass (Acre Venture Partners); David Chang (Momofuku); Tyler Huggins (Meati); and Chavon Sutton (Cambridge Associates).
Meati Foods and The Better Meat Co., two fungi-based alt meat companies, are suing each other over intellectual property (IP). In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney highlights two separate sets of alt meat companies that are embroiled in legal battles over a proprietary technology and the use of an ingredient, respectively. Meati has accused Better Meat of stealing its mycelium harvesting tech, while Better Meat has accused Meati of damaging its reputation and fundraising efforts. Meanwhile, another ongoing lawsuit is underway between Impossible Foods and Motif Foodworks over alleged copying of alt protein food technology. The team wonders whether more alt meat and dairy companies will face similar legal battles in the future since every company aims to be the first to introduce new technologies and products to market.Also, in this episode, Sydney discusses some food companies that have cut ties with Russia following the country's invasion of Ukraine. Among them include food giants like General Mills, Nestlé and Cargill, while a small number of companies are still doing business in Russia, including Restaurant Brands International (RBI), the owner of Burger King. RBI said its 800 Burger King locations in the country remain open because they are stand-alone franchise operations that are independently owned. The team wonders whether this is a good enough reason for its restaurants to stay open, but posits that sanctions come with negative outcomes for the common people.

Move over, beef: there's a new burger in town. Plant-based meats are sizzling hot right now; in 2020 alone, the alternative meat industry saw a record $3.1 billion in investment, with 112 new plant-based brands launching in supermarkets. These juicy, savory, chewy fake burgers are a far cry from the dry, weird-tasting veggie patties of the past. In this episode, Gastropod co-hosts Nicole Twilley and Cynthia Graber visit the Impossible Foods labs to swig some of the animal-free molecule that makes their meatless meat bleed, try fungal food start-up Meati's prototype "chicken" cutlet, and speak to the scientists and historians who compare these new fake meats to their predecessors—and to real meat! Can a plant-based sausage roll be considered kosher or halal? Are plant-based meats actually better for you and for the environment? And how might a mysterious protein-powerhouse fungus named Rosita help feed the world?This episode was reported and produced by our friends at Gastropod.Featuring Aymann Ismail, Celeste Holz-Schietinger, Malte Rödl, Tyer Huggins, and Raychel Santo.SUPPORTOutside/In is made possible with listener support.
