16 Jan 2023 --- Israeli-based Believer Meats (formerly Future Meat Technologies), in partnership with The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has published a study in Nature Foods revealing the former’s production methods for cost-efficient, non-GMO cultured chicken. Led by Professor Yaakov Nahmias, the founder, president and CTO of Believer Meats, the study outlines how researchers produced immortal cell lines of chicken fibroblasts using a process of “spontaneous immortalization,” as patented by the company last year. This follows Believer recently breaking ground on a 200,000 square foot facility in the US to produce cultivated meat, the largest factory of its kind in the world.
