'Space F,' the Korea-based cellular agriculture startup focused on lab-cultivated meat products, has debuted a new range of cultivated meats. Space F is at the forefront of the cultivated meat industry in Korea as it debuted the country's first cultivated pork product in 2021. Now, the company has announced the creation of beef and chicken products, along with an upgraded version of its previous cultivated pork.
The cultivated beef comes in the form of patties and meatballs, the chicken is made into fillets and nuggets, and the new cultivated pork is a version of a German "weisswurst" sausage. The upgraded cultivated pork recipe boasts more accurate fibers and mouthfeel than its predecessor when directly compared to real pork products. Now that Space F has created a wide range of cultivated products, its current ventures are targeted towards removing ingredients that have been deemed an ethical gray area, such as 'Foetal Bovine Serum' (FBS), which poses a large problem to the cultivated meat industry.
