Next-Gen Whole Cuts

Until now, plant-based meats have been limited to ground and shredded formats, falling short of replicating the whole cuts that make up the majority of meat consumption. Our next-gen platform changes that. Designed from the ground up to deliver high-precision plant-based whole cuts, it recreates the full complexity of conventional meat—not just in flavor, but in structure, texture, and juiciness—bringing plant-based whole cuts to an entirely new level. With supply chain disruptions, rising poultry costs, and threats like bird flu impacting global meat availability, a more resilient, scalable solution is urgently needed.

We have conducted extensive research on the sensory properties of meat, specifically identifying the properties that give meat its distinctive qualities. We found that chewiness, sustained juiciness, and the changing mouthfeel as meat is successively chewed are among its most defining properties. These properties are extremely difficult to get right, unless the hierarchical structure of meat — which has perceivable muscle fibers thinner than the human hair — is also replicated. It is equally critical to replicate the complex flavours, fat and moisture that are released at various stages of cooking which are also important contributors to the meat experience.

Our next-gen versatile platform utilizes novel, patent-pending technologies to manufacture high-precision plant-based whole cuts that preserve these defining sensory properties while delivering a nutritional profile that matches or exceeds conventional meat.

We showcased our muscle fibers built with our Gen1 platform at Future Food-Tech SF 2022, chicken breasts made using our Gen2 platform at Future Food-Tech SF 2023, and our Gen3’s whole-cut structures with complex muscle architectures at Future Food-Tech SF 2024. At AAHAR 2025, we are excited to announce our Gen4 platform, which delivers an unprecedented level of precision in replicating the texture, juiciness, and structural complexity of conventional whole cuts at scale.
