Mosa Meat

We’re Mosa Meat, a food technology company that’s helping everyone take a bite out of a better future starting with the world’s kindest beef burger.

We want to introduce a new way of thinking about, growing, making, and enjoying food.

A next step which is kinder for all of us and the planet but doesn’t mean sacrificing taste.

The Mission To fundamentally reshape the global food system

Current meat consumption is causing devastating damage to our planet. 

Producing meat takes up 80% of all agricultural land, and contributes to around a fifth of all human-produced greenhouse gases. 

And that’s just what’s happening right now. Meat demand will continue to soar as the world's population reaches 10 billion, and our planet will be stretched beyond its limits.

The Solution:

Rethink the process, not the behaviour.

People love meat, and always have; the problem is how it’s made. We want to move away from traditional agriculture practices, to a more sustainable and efficient model.

Shape an irresistible product.

We want to make it easy, just replace beef with beef. We have exacting standards (as you’d expect!) and are committed to delivering a leading-quality product.

Make it available everywhere.

We are looking to scale up our production so that we can make our burgers a delicious choice wherever you are in the world.

Cause a planet-sized impact.

We want to make the biggest change possible. This means getting as many people together as possible enjoying kinder beef burgers, so that we have a better planet to live on.

Our progress so far

In 2006, scientist Mark Post and food technician Peter Verstrate met for the first time, through a government-funded program exploring the opportunities of cultured meat. After the program ended, Mark and Peter continued to try and make sustainable burgers a reality.

In 2013, they unveiled the world’s first cultured beef burger at a packed press conference in London. Just this one burger took years of research and €250,000 to make. And luckily for us – the press loved it.

In 2016, Mosa Meat was incorporated and the team of scientists and engineers started to grow. Crucial technical milestones were reached, like adding fat, removing animal components from the production process, and reducing the cost. 

Fast forward to now, and it’s all about getting that burger to you. We’re working at our new Mosa Home in Maastricht, to develop our burgers, bring the price down, and help make the future of food a bit brighter in the process.

 

Eat a burger to change the world. Really.

Carnivores, pescatarians, vegans. At heart, we’re all food-lovers.

 

Meat has been a big ingredient of human evolution – but now’s the time to use our love of it to create a positive impact on the planet.

Kinder to you

We’re in total control of the burgers we make. From start to finish, we’re accountable for every cell.

This makes for a better burger — cleaner, cared for.

We can tell you everything that goes into it, you can be sure of what you’ll get out of it!

Kinder to society worldwide

If we can make our burger the new normal, we’ll be able to share its benefits (and delicious taste) with 10 billion people and counting. 

And when everyone gets to share the goodness, we can start to form a fairer food landscape for all – because everyone should have the right to eat good quality, nutritious food.

Kinder to cows and other animals

Cows are much more loving and emotionally sensitive than most people would imagine. We think they’re great.

To make tens of thousands of burgers, all we need from a cow is a small cell sample. No slaughter is required and much fewer cows are needed. This process also means we don’t have to take away any other animals’ habitats: with less cows, we need far less space.

Kinder to the planet

To make our burger, we don’t need to draw as much water from the rivers; cut down rainforests to create pasture and animal feed; use as much energy; or work with chemicals which can run-off into our oceans.

By treating the planet kindly, we can create a happier world.
