Lab-grown pork could be available in S'pore in 2024

Singapore's alternative protein landscape may see laboratorygrown pork-based products landing on dinner plates in the second quarter of 2024.

Meatable, the Dutch start-up focusing on developing lab-grown, or cultivated, meat is looking to scale up the process in Singapore, working on producing hybrid pork that is one-third cultivated meat and two-thirds plant-based protein.

This composition - chosen after the company taste-tested products comprising 10 per cent to 50 per cent cultivated meat "and everything in between" - "is enough to have this wonderful taste along with the texture", said Meatable chief commercial officer Caroline Wilschut.

Meatable is in the process of refining its products while seeking regulatory approval from the Singapore Food Agency for selling them.
