Ever After Foods and Roslin Technologies Boost Cultivated Meat Productivity

HAIFA, Israel and EDINBURGH, Scotland, Oct. 13, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Ever After Foods and Roslin Technologies have made significant strides in the cultivation of meat, achieving a major leap in productivity that could revolutionize the industry. The collaboration between the two companies has resulted in substantial gains in protein and biomass production, marking a significant milestone in the development of cultivated meat technologies.

The companies combined Roslin Technologies' advanced cell platform with Ever After Foods' proprietary Edible Packed Bed (EPB™) technology, leading to a notable improvement in the efficiency of cultivated meat production. According to Eyal Rosenthal, CEO of Ever After Foods, the industry has traditionally focused on increasing cell density, but the true measure of commercial success lies in the amount of edible protein and tissue produced by the cells.

The EAF platform achieved a cell density of over 150 million cells/ml and volumetric productivities of 326 grams per liter of wet biomass, 57 grams per liter of dry biomass, and 40 grams per liter of cultivated protein. These results were particularly impressive as the structured tissue was produced directly on PlantriX, EAF’s proprietary edible scaffold. The findings demonstrate that the productivity improvement was not just a matter of increasing cell density but also a result of each cell producing four times more protein and dry biomass.

Ernst van Orsouw, CEO of Roslin Technologies, highlighted the versatility of their porcine pluripotent stem cells across bioreactor systems. He noted that the collaboration provided an encouraging example of how complementary technologies can be integrated to address key scale-up challenges. The results indicate that the productivity improvement came from achieving five times higher cell density, as well as increasing the amount of protein and dry biomass produced by each cell.

These advancements are crucial for the commercial viability of cultivated meat. By producing structured tissue directly on an edible scaffold, the companies have reduced the need for additional processing steps, making the production process more efficient and scalable. The scaffold, which represents less than 2% of the final product by weight, ensures that the reported results reflect only the cultivated cell-derived material.

The collaboration between Ever After Foods and Roslin Technologies demonstrates the potential for integrating different technologies to address the complex challenges of cultivated meat production. The companies are now building on these results through additional development and scale-up work, aiming to advance the combined cell and tissue-production platform.

These achievements underscore the growing importance of cultivated meat in the global food industry, as companies continue to innovate and improve the efficiency and sustainability of their production processes.
