Summary
- Meatly has begun selling lab-grown meat dog treats in the UK, in what it calls a world first.
- Its Chick Bites, made in collaboration with vegan dog food firm The Pack, are a combination of cultivated meat and plant-based ingredients.
- The company, in which Pets at Home, a major investor, has a stake, is now working to scale up production.
- While the product’s availability is currently limited to one Pets at Home branch, the two firms have plans for further collaborations.
- Cultivated meat, which is grown in a culture outside of the animal rather than by slaughter, is not yet approved for human consumption in the UK.
