Upside Foods previously shared that its partnership with the restaurant Bar Crenn ended in February and will no longer serve its cell-cultured whole-cut chicken products.

Mosa Meat, a company specialised in cultured beef has secured €40M in an oversubscribed funding round. Investors in this round include existing investors Lowercarbon Capital, M Ventures , new investor Invest-NL, LIOF, and the Limburgs Energie Fonds (LEF) B.V., new partners with a background in the conventional meat sector, including PHW Group, one of Europe’s largest poultry producers, and XO Ventures. Maarten Bosch, CEO of Mosa Meat, says, “The macroeconomic situation has deteriorated over the past two years, bringing challenges for our entire industry. It has made us even more strategic and focused on achieving our mission.” Currently, the Dutch company is preparing its first formal tastings of cultured beef in the Netherlands. “In an increasingly polarising environment, we choose to connect and collaborate, building a future where cultured beef is a real choice for consumers and one of the complementary solutions to combat the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. Organising our food system so that we can continue to produce good food for a growing global population without irreparably damaging the planet in the process is a massive challenge that will require a good number of people and organisations to work together,” adds Bosch. Founded in 2016 by Mark Post and Peter Verstrate, and led by CEO Maarten Bosch, Mosa Meat is a foodtech company that is on a mission to transform beef production. The founders introduced the world’s first cultured beef burger in 2013 by growing it naturally from a cow’s cells.  The company is expanding its capabilities to produce the same beef people love in a way that’s better for people, animals, and the planet.
