Mosa Meat

Pioneering a cleaner, kinder way of making beef.

We’re Mosa Meat, a food technology company that’s helping everyone take a bite out of a better future – starting with the world’s kindest beef burger.

We want to introduce a new way of thinking about, growing, making, and enjoying food.

A next step which is kinder for all of us – and the planet – but doesn’t mean sacrificing taste.

 We’re making the beef burgers of the future.

They don’t taste ‘just like’ meat. They are real meat. Real beef that oozes and sizzles with real fats and juices.

We’re making these burgers so people can make a positive impact on the planet, simply by swapping delicious beef… with delicious beef. Easy!

We grow our beef by harnessing the same natural processes responsible for muscle growth in a cow.

We start by taking a sesame-seed sized sample of cells, and nurturing them to naturally grow into beef. We can make up to 80,000 burgers just from that one sample – and no animal is harmed.

And just like a farmer cares for their herd, we give the same care and attention to every cell. Sure, it sounds a little different.

 Current meat consumption is causing devastating damage to our planet.

Producing meat takes up 80% of all agricultural land, and contributes to around a fifth of all human-produced greenhouse gases.

And that’s just what’s happening right now. Meat demand will continue to soar as the world's population reaches 10 billion, and our planet will be stretched beyond its limits.

People love meat, and always have; the problem is how it’s made. We want to move away from traditional agriculture practices, to a more sustainable and efficient model.

We want to make it easy, just replace beef with beef. We have exacting standards (as you’d expect!) and are committed to delivering a leading-quality product.

We are looking to scale up our production so that we can make our burgers a delicious choice wherever you are in the world.

We want to make the biggest change possible. This means getting as many people together as possible enjoying kinder beef burgers, so that we have a better planet to live on.

In 2006, scientist Mark Post and food technician Peter Verstrate met for the first time, through a government-funded program exploring the opportunities of cultured meat. After the program ended, Mark and Peter continued to try and make sustainable burgers a reality.

In 2013, they unveiled the world’s first cultured beef burger at a packed press conference in London. Just this one burger took years of research and €250,000 to make. And luckily for us – the press loved it.

In 2016, Mosa Meat was incorporated and the team of scientists and engineers started to grow. Crucial technical milestones were reached, like adding fat, removing animal components from the production process, and reducing the cost.

Fast forward to now, and it’s all about getting that burger to you. We’re working at our new Mosa Home in Maastricht, to develop our burgers, bring the price down, and help make the future of food a bit brighter in the process.
