Fork & Good

Fork & Goode is a cell-cultured meat startup specializing in cell-based pork. The startup is a spinoff of Modern Meadow, a cellular agriculture biomaterial company that produces a bio-leather material called Zoa. Fork & Good’s approach to cultivated meat distinguishes itself from most cultivated meat producers, as it uses muscle cells instead of stem cells, which allows simpler and cheaper production. The company leverages its patented bioprocess and unique bioreactors to increase yield and allow a higher production density. In June 2020, the startup was granted a patent for its novel bioreactor system, providing a low-cost alternative for FBS and recombinant growth factors.

In March 2023, the company launched a pilot facility in Jersey City to produce cultivated pork, with plans to expand to other types of meat. Following this, in February 2024, it conducted its first blind tasting of hybrid cultivated pork in Davos, Switzerland.
