The company is celebrating this milestone by offering its first-ever sale of GOOD Meat in the United States at China Chilcano by José Andrés in Washington, D.C. The landmark dinner will feature a charcoal-grilled cultivated chicken dish called “Anticuchos de Pollo.”
The dinner will honor the late Willem van Eelen, who is widely known as the “godfather of cultivated meat.” Van Eelen was a Dutch researcher, entrepreneur and prisoner of war who made it his life’s mission to realize the promise of safe, sustainable meat production from cells instead of live animals.
GOOD Meat remains the world’s first-to-market cultivated meat company, winning multiple regulatory approvals for its chicken in Singapore in 2020 and 2021. In January 2023, the firm received a key clearance that paves the way for greater scalability, lower manufacturing costs and a more sustainable product.
Reservations to experience the Anticuchos de Pollo will open July 25, with tables available starting the week of July 31. Visit chinachilcano.com for reservations and more information.
This is a major step forward for the cultivated meat industry, and it is a sign that the future of food is becoming increasingly sustainable and ethical. I am excited to see how GOOD Meat continues to innovate and make cultivated meat more accessible to consumers in the years to come.
