Prediction market on metaculus. Cultivated meat, also known as cultured meat, is genuine animal meat produced by cultivating animal cells in a safe and controlled environment. [The Good Food Institute](https://gfi.org/science/the-science-of-cultivated-meat/) explains that the manufacturing process begins with acquiring and banking stem cells from an animal. These cells are then grown in bioreactors (known colloquially as [cultivators](https://gfi.org/cultivated/)) at high densities and volumes. The cells are fed an oxygen-rich cell culture medium containing basic nutrients such as amino acids, glucose, fats, vitamins, and inorganic salts, and typically supplemented with growth factors and other proteins. As of [June 2026](https://gfi.org/resource/where-cultivated-meat-can-be-sold/), cultivated meat can be sold in Singapore, the United States, and Australia.
