Founded in 2018 by former Eat Just scientist Dr. Eitan Fischer, San Francisco-based Mission Barns grows cultivated pork fat in proprietary bioreactors it claims can dramatically improve the efficiency of the production process. The fat is then combined with plant-based proteins to create meat alternatives such as sausages and bacon. Pending regulatory approval, the firm plans to launch finished products at a handful of outlets next year to validate its product and process; it ultimately aims to be a B2B supplier of fat to the plant-based and cultivated meat industry.
