Meatly, in partnership with The Pack and Pets at Home, is set to launch the world’s first pet food containing cultivated meat on February 7, 2025. The new product, Chick Bites, blends plant-based ingredients with Meatly Chicken, a cell-cultured protein derived from a single egg sample, ensuring a sustainable and nutritious alternative to conventional dog treats. Owen Ensor, Meatly’s founding CEO, emphasized that this milestone demonstrates the commercial viability of cultivated meat despite limited industry investment. Pets at Home, a key investor, views this innovation as a major step toward reducing the environmental footprint of pet food. The Pack’s CEO, Damien Clarkson, highlighted the potential of cultivated meat to replace farmed animal protein in pet nutrition, marking a transformative moment for the industry.
