BSF Enterprise PLC shares shot up 17.24% to 21.69p after the investment company revealed that its wholly-owned subsidiary, 3D Bio-Tissues (3DBT), has successfully produced the UK’s first steak fillet of structured cultivated meat.
The fillet of pork, produced in 3DBT’s Newcastle-based laboratory, was cooked and eaten by the subsidiary’s management team, BSF said in a statement.
The news comes after the company’s November announcement that 3DBT had produced three prototypes of lab-grown meat.
The fillet was produced using 3DBT’s patented, serum-free, and animal-free cell booster, City-mix, which eliminated the requirement of conventional plant-based scaffolds, blends, or fillers, as have been universally adopted by the industry to date to ensure the structural integrity of cultivated meat products.
3DBT’s fillet is therefore 100% meat, and BSF said it believes this is “the world’s first 100% cultivated pork steak to be produced”.
