Upside Foods Responds to Story About Lab-Grown Chicken

To the Editor:

Your December 14 article “The Biggest Problem With Lab-Grown Chicken Is Growing the Chicken” about the cultivated meat industry got it wrong on a number of fundamental points, and we strongly disagree with its erroneous conclusion that UPSIDE Foods does not have a path to scale its product. We have a scalable technology (something we call “suspension”) and have consistently and successfully run large cultivators at our EPIC pilot facility, developed a suite of delicious next generation cultivated meat products leveraging this platform, and are building a commercial facility to enable the next level of scale.
