Quest is developing versatile ingredients that serve multiple markets — with a primary focus on near term alternative proteins, while also serving as edible scaffolds for cultivated meat in the longer term.
What is cultivated meat?
Step 1
Small samples of tissue are taken from an animal. These tissues contain stem cells that have the ability to replicate.
Step 2
After isolating stem cells from the tissue, they are placed in a safe and controlled cell culture environment.
Step 3
These animal stem cells are provided with nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins and fats, promoting the cells to divide and grow.
Step 4
When enough cells have been produced, they can be matured into meat cells. They are then processed into burgers, sausages, mince or nuggets for a delicious, guilt-free experience.
