MEXICO – Mexican laboratory is using cutting-edge technology, this laboratory located in Mexico has developed a method that produces beef artificially, without the need to breed or kill animals.
In Mexico, the startup “Forma Foods” stands out in this field, having been manufacturing in vitro meat in its laboratory for years.
This company, which emerged from the School of Engineering and Sciences of the Tecnológico de Monterrey, is positioned as a more sustainable and ethical option to extensive livestock farming.

Moreover, it can be modified to reduce fat content or improve its nutritional profile, making it a healthy option for diet-conscious consumers.
Cultured beef” or “lab meat” is produced from a biopsy of cattle to isolate stem cells, which are transferred to bioreactors, where the biotechnological process is carried out to differentiate the cells and convert them into muscle tissue.
