The factory will be headed by JBS’ subsidiary Bio Tech Foods, which has recently obtained the support of the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade (ICEX) to research and cultivate these cell lines for production, according to the Northern Ag Network.
In this line, the project led by BioTech Foods, ‘Research on cell lines, cultured media and biomaterials for their correct bioprocessing to enable the production of cultivated meat’ (investMEAT)’ will allow a highly efficient cultivated meat production line, which will solve the challenges of current technology linked to scalability.
JBS said in a press release
Reuters added: ‘The factory, which JBS says will be the world’s largest lab-grown meat plant, should produce more than 1,000 metric tons of cultivated beef per year, JBS said. It said it could expand capacity to 4,000 metric tons per year in the medium term.’
The new BioTech plant puts JBS in a unique position to lead the segment and ride this wave of innovation.
Eduardo Noronha, USA’s head of value-added business, said
BioTech Foods co-founder and CEO Iñigo Charola added in a statement: “With the challenges imposed on global supply chains, cultivated protein offers the potential to stabilize food security and global protein production.”
The large-scale facility is set to launch in mid-2024.
National Cattlemen’s Beef Association President Todd Wilkinson on the news of JBS’ latest investment, telling Northern Ag Network that this move is one of the biggest face the industry.
We’ll gladly compete against that, but the consumer needs to know at the counter what they’re buying.
I just don’t want the beef industry go by way of what happened to milk and lose the ability to identify our product as unique and natural.
They can say that it’s designed to feed the world, but it’s feeding the world a non-natural product and it’s a product that is going to require more energy to produce, and don’t tell me it’s sustainable.
Wilkinson explained
Though JBS is looking to further expand their line of faux meats, JBS decided to pull the plug on their U.S. plant-based meat company Planterra last Fall, The WinePress reported.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1 Timothy 4:1-3
As I have reported on before, the plant-based and cell-cultured abominations are commercial flops in the U.S., but sales in Europe seem to indicate that there is enough of a niche market for it.
Nevertheless the war is not over the elite psychopaths in charge are still plotting to get the masses from eating real meat.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
