EPISODE 114 DETAILS Cultivated Meat Company Meatable Doesn’t Meet Funding Challenge The global cultivated meat sector lost a major player this month with the closing of the Dutch-based cultivated meat start-up Meatable. Founded in 2018, the company used a specific strain of pluripotent stem cells as it sought to produce pork sausages and dumplings through a system that sped up the conversion of stem cells into fat and muscle. Meatable had aimed to become “a raw material supplier or vendor to a meat company. Meatable was unable to raise additional funding. Meatable’s closure follows the recent demise of Believer Meats and a shift in growth prospects for similar companies like GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods. As of late 2025, Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, and Texas have passed laws banning or restricting the sale, manufacturing, and distribution of cultivated (cell-cultured) meat, with bans varying in scope and duration, though some are temporary and face legal challenges. Although the announcements from the companies spoke to “unforeseeable risks and uncertainties” and “difficult” decisions, Meatingplace coverage over the years featured critical voices that correctly anticipated the fates of Believer, Meatable and others.
