Investors were invited to taste one of the prototypes produced in its Shanghai lab from cells harvested from China's native black pig.
China in particular, which consumed 86 million tons of meat in 2020 or about 30% of global demand, is in urgent need of a cleaner meat supply to meet its carbon goals, says CellX.
CellX, which raised $4.3 million earlier this year and is now seeking fresh funding, is also eyeing the global market, however.
