Believer Meats has completed construction of its 200,000-square-foot cultivated meat production facility in Wilson, NC, which is capable of producing at least 10,000 tons of product, according to Meat+Poultry.
CEO Gustavo Burger in a LinkedIn post called it “a defining moment, a bold leap forward in our vision to lead food innovation that cares for the planet.”
The company also received a “No Questions” letter from the Food and Drug Administration and is working with USDA on final inspection steps.
Other companies with U.S. approval include Upside Foods, Eat Just and Mission Farms. Some states, however, have passed laws opposing cultivated meat.
