3DBT Makes Progress Growing 100% Meat Cultivated Pork Fillet & New Strips with Animal-Free Medium

In November, the UK-based biotech company unveiled the successful development of cultivated meat prototypes using its serum-free medium. In February, after other trials, the business made public the “world’s first” 100% cultivated meat steak . It was grown only from pork cells, with City-Mix — without plant-based scaffolds — making it a unique development.

In recent weeks, 3DBT joined the Cellular Agriculture Manufacturing Hub (CARMA) led by the University of Bath as a project partner.
