# American Cell-Cultured Porks Fork & Goode is Creating Real Cell-Based Animal Products By Colin Smith | Published 2022-04-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forke-and-goode References: [3dprint](https://3dprint.com/290546/8-players-leading-the-3d-printed-meat-revolution/?a) & [forkandgoode](https://forkandgoode.com/)  'Fork & Goode' is a United States-based startup working to create sustainable, cell-cultured meats that are less harmful to both wildlife and the environment. Two additional notable qualities of cell-cultured meat as opposed to [plant-based meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meaty-meat-pork-ish) are the fact that cell-cultured meats consume very little natural resources, and cell-cultured meats replicate real animal meat almost identically. Currently, Fork & Goode is focusing on creating [alternative pork products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-pork) with cells sourced from local New Jersey pigs. These cells are then grown in a lab and engineered to create genuine pork meat. This meat is harvested and prepared by a set of chefs who ensure that the resulting Fork & Goode products are of the highest quality and are near indistinguishable from real animal pork. Fork & Goode is currently looking to finalize, and subsequently scale, its cultured meats.
