New Age Meats is based in San Francisco, California where the company uses automation & data science to develop cell-cultured meat. New Age is currently working on developing pork sausage. The company released their first sausage prototype in September 2018, which cost $2600 to produce and was only 10% cultured pig cells (the remaining 90% was plant based). The company used fetal bovine serum to make these cultured pig cells, which they are currently working to replace. To reduce production costs and develop a viable growth medium, New Age is focusing on automated data collection.
