A little over two years after Israel-based start-up Aleph Farms unveiled the world’s first lab-grown steak, the company has now revealed a much more complex, thick-cut rib-eye steak. Cultivated using a novel 3D bioprinting technology, the company sugge… Continue reading World-first lab-grown rib-eye steak demonstrates new 3D bioprinting tech
A pair of researchers at McMaster University’s School of Biomedical Engineering have developed a way of cultivating meat that not only does away with the animal, but also allows for greater control over the texture and taste of the end product.Continue… Continue reading Stacking sheets of tissue builds better lab-grown meat

Along with single servings of coffee, we’ve also seen Keurig-like pods used to dispense cocktails, wine, fresh tortillas and even full meals. ColdSnap forges into different territory, by serving up fresh ice cream and other frosty treats.Continue Readi… Continue reading ColdSnap makes single-serving fresh ice cream from unrefrigerated pods
Even if you like cooking, it can still be a hassle transferring ingredients between bowls – all of which subsequently have to be washed. Cuisinart’s new Complete Chef food processor was designed with that in mind, as it also cooks what it slices and di… Continue reading Complete Chef cooks the food it processes
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a genetically modified pig for human consumption and therapeutic use. The pig is engineered to be free of a certain sugar molecule responsible for severe allergic reactions in some people.Continue … Continue reading FDA approves first genetically modified pig for food and medical use
While you might think that dried almonds are one of the “safer” foods, they’re actually prone to contamination by harmful bacteria. A simple new process could help keep that from happening, while also boosting their shelf life.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Pressurized CO2 used to bacteria-proof dried almonds
Scientists have genetically modified a tomato to produce L-DOPA, a drug used to treat Parkinson’s disease. The researchers suggest this innovation could be an easier and cheaper way to produce the essential medicine in regions where access to the synthesized pharmaceutical is restricted.

The future of food security, sustainable agriculture and the environment as a whole call for a lower reliance on traditional meat products over the coming decades, and a newly announced XPrize contest puts this issue center stage. The Feed the Next Bil… Continue reading XPrize launches a $15-million competition to develop alternative meats
With our consumption of meat continuing to place a huge strain on the environment, the emergence of lab-grown alternatives is beginning to pick up steam. A world-first regulatory approval today should help things along, with food tech startup Eat Just’… Continue reading Lab-grown chicken on the menu in Singapore after world-first approval
