The mammoth meatball is a one-off and has not been tasted, even by its creators, nor is it planned to be put into commercial production.

Instead, it was presented as a source of protein that would get people talking about the future of meat. https://t.co/fp7W0xINI9

Singapore is the only country in the world where cultured meat is legal for human consumption. Vow is planning to serve cultured quail meat there in a concept restaurant called Morsel currently offering sign ups to try a “world-first dish”.

2. Vow Food’s project also aims to mix and match cells from unconventional species to create new kinds of meat.

According to The Guardian, the firm has already investigated the potential of more than 50 species, including alpaca, buffalo, crocodile, kangaroo, peacocks and fish.

4. “And we believe the best way to do that is to invent meat. We look for cells that are easy to grow, really tasty and nutritious, and then mix and match those cells to create really tasty meat,” he adds.

Goodness gracious, great balls of mammoth: an Australian startup created cultured meat from an extinct animal’s DNA

Simon Thomsen – March 28, 2023

Sydney cultured meat startup Vow Foods has created the world’s first edible protein developed from the DNA of an extinct animal – the woolly mammoth.

Pitching their technology as a solution to climate change – and using the mammoth as “a monumental symbol of what we stand to lose now” – Vow unveiled its latest experiment in cultured meat  (flesh grown from animal cells) – in Amsterdam on Tuesday night, Australian time, at the Food Futurism conference.

The meat was produced using molecular engineering that involved cells inserted with real mammoth DNA and as well as African elephant DNA, the mammoth’s closest living relative.

The Western Sydney-based startup began producing lab-grown meat from pork and kangaroo cells in 2019. It’s since produced flesh from a range of animal cells, including rabbit, mice, goat and water buffalo, and even alpaca. It’s explored putting more than 50 species of lab-grown meat on plates, including fish.

Vow is backed by Australia’s leading venture capital funds, including Blackbird and Square Peg, as well as Grok, the family fund of Mike Cannon-Brookes. It raised $7.7 million in a seed round in January 2021, then a record $73.5 million Series A in November last year.

Bringing a theatricality worthy of PT Barnum to Vow’s science and story, the concept for a mammoth meatball was developed by Bas Korsten, chief creative officer at advertising agency Wunderman Thompson. Korsten was responsible for the 2016 project The Next Rembrandt, an artificial intelligence 3D-printed painting produced after the AI trawled the complete works of the Dutch Renaissance painter.
