How Cultivated Meat Can Win Over Traditional Processors, Consumers

In mid-February, Food Processing senior editor Andy Hanacek was invited to moderate a panel discussing the U.S. meat industry for cultivated meat company Meatable in the Netherlands. Joining Hanacek on stage were longtime meat industry executive Jeff Swain, Chef Andrew Hunter and Paradai Adisayathepkul of Betagro. This conversation covers how cultivated meat can learn from previous “revolutionary” product introductions to win over traditional processors and consumers. The quartet spoke and answered audience questions for nearly an hour, and this podcast is a roughly 12-minute snippet of their conversation. Meatable has published a video of the entire panel here, if you’re interested in hearing the rest of the discussion on cultivated meat, Meatable’s plans and how the U.S. market fits.
