The frontrunners are making beef-like burgers with ingredients from plants. Next come the startups who aim to make real meat from animal cells.

The company is focused on doing away with a problematic ingredient that many alt-meat startups rely on: fetal bovine serum. The serum comes from slaughtered cows, and it's used to grow animal cells for meat.

Meatable says it's avoiding serum by using a special type of stem cell that reproduces naturally. Those cells also present a challenge, however: they're notoriously hard to control. Meatable says it's using a proprietary technology created in partnership with two top-notch scientists from Cambridge who specialize in stem cell biology and neurosurgery to address the issue.
