Mewery achieves record 300g/litre yield in cultivated pork breakthrough
Mewery, a cultivated meat producer, has made significant progress in scaling up its pork production. The company recently achieved a biomass yield of 300 grams per litre—one of the highest in the industry. This milestone comes as it prepares for a major funding push and regulatory approvals in key markets.
The company's latest breakthrough centres on its co-cultivation process, which combines microalgae and mammalian cells. This method boosts cell growth efficiency while cutting production costs. Mewery has already showcased products like meatballs and burgers, receiving positive feedback from consumers.
Moria Shimoni, the newly appointed chief technology officer, brings deep expertise in industrial cultivated meat systems. Her leadership will support Mewery's plans to validate its technology at scale and transition to pilot production.
To fund these efforts, the company is raising €20 million in its ongoing seed round, set to close in late 2026. Vesna VC has already invested several hundred thousand euros, with further financing discussions underway for a €7 million seed extension. The capital will help Mewery prepare for market entry in Singapore, the EU, the UK, and the US, where it aims to submit regulatory applications by the end of 2027.
The latest yield improvements will help Mewery reduce costs and strengthen its commercial prospects. With regulatory filings planned for 2027, the company is moving closer to bringing its cultivated pork to global markets. The upcoming funding will be key to scaling production and meeting industry standards.
