About Meatly
Meatly is the UK and EU’s only regulatory approved cultivated meat company. Established in 2022, Meatly aims to provide sustainable, ethical, and nutritious alternatives to traditional meat products for pets by providing cultivated chicken to be used in pet food.
Our innovative approach involves extracting cells from a single chicken egg, a process conducted only once, to cultivate meat indefinitely. This method ensures that pets receive real meat without necessitating the slaughter of animals, that is nutritionally identical to traditionally-reared chicken.
We are the only company to have secured regulatory approval, working closely with the FSA, DEFRA and the APHA to ensure that our product is of the highest quality.
An average dog eats more meat than its owner. At Meatly, we know there must be a better way of feeding our beloved pets the meat they need and want. Globally, 20% of meat is eaten by pets which has a significant environmental impact. By using cultivated meat we can provide the same delicious, healthy meat a pet wants but we use dramatically less land, water, and no antibiotics or GMOs.
We have also recently launched the worlds first cultivated dog treat ‘chick bites’ which has gone on sale at Pets at Home in Brentford, demonstrating a clear use case that cultivated meat can and should be used as a sustainable alternative for proteins in pet food.
We are now working on a Series A funding round that will see us be able to scale up our operations to ensure we can produce industrial amounts of cultivated chicken for our partners and for product.
