UPSIDE Foods has undergone another round of layoffs as part of a restructuring effort to focus on commercialization and efficiency. This follows previous layoffs in 2024 and a pause on plans for a large-scale facility in Illinois. The company is now expanding its smaller “EPIC” site in California, which is more cost-effective. UPSIDE Foods has raised $608 million since 2015 but faces challenges in scaling up production.
