GEA Unveils US$20 million US facility to accelerate next-gen protein
Plus, Meatable, Labcorp, and global regulators headline Amsterdam’s Regulating the Future of Food Conference, cultivated meat goes circular, Novella and Metaphor Foods team up for cell-based natural preservatives, much more!
From industrial-scale breakthroughs to ice cream powered by air proteins, this week’s headlines highlight just how fast the future of food is taking shape. Here's your weekly roundup of the most intriguing developments across the space…
All eyes were on Janesville this week as a major new site opened its doors to help speed up the journey from lab bench to large-scale production. Purpose-built to support fermentation and cell cultivation technologies, it signals serious intent to industrialize alternative protein.
Meanwhile in Singapore, a new kind of ice cream made waves at a major sports event – demonstrating how novel proteins can appeal to the mainstream when innovation meets clever marketing. Could dessert be the gateway to consumer acceptance?
Over in Amsterdam, regulatory heavyweights and scientific voices came together to tackle the future of food laws. From GRAS to global frameworks, there was plenty to chew on – especially when it comes to unlocking international market access.
Another group hoping to make that leap? A fresh batch of startups pitching their ideas at a recent incubator demo day. From egg alternatives to AI-powered flavor profiling, the energy and ambition on display was unmistakable.
And it seems consumers are more adaptable than we think. New research from the Netherlands suggests that swapping meat for plant-based versions doesn’t have to compromise nutrition – encouraging news for advocates of dietary transition.
Back to the lab: a new study explores how waste streams could power the next phase of cultivated meat scale-up. If circular systems can cut costs and increase output, could the sector’s biggest challenges also be its greatest opportunity?
At the policy level, the UK’s new food strategy offered a rare bright spot for alt proteins. With explicit support for innovation to drive economic growth, it’s a sign that political momentum might finally be shifting.
Looking ahead to The Future of Protein Production Amsterdam, two speaker exclusives stood out. One dives into how ocean-based biomass could shape the future of global nutrition. The other introduces a minimalist plant protein tech that claims to do more with less – elegant simplicity with big potential.
