Clever Carnivore is dedicated to innovating around the limitations of 21st century meat production, aiming to address food insecurity.

Clever Carnivore

We're Chicago's first cultivated meat company, working to bring sustainable, cost effective cultivated meat to market. Real Meat, Happier Planet. 🥩 🌍 ✨

My job is so cool.  Today, along with my World Business Chicago colleagues, CEO Phil Clement and VP, Innovation & Venture Nicole McCarthy, as well as City of Chicago Deputy Mayor Kenya K. Merritt and Project Manager Maranda R., I got to tour Clever Carnivore's lab testing facility in #chicago.  This startup is taking off like a rocket, having developed a process to grow cultivated meat products from animal cells.  We got to be among less than 500 people in the whole country to taste the pork meatballs and brats, and I would put them up against the "real" thing any day.  When I think of the massive global issues being addressed by their work, like lessening the environmental impact of meat production and increasing food security, I'm even more impressed.

Earlier this week, we introduced you to Kaitlin Grady from Clever Carnivore. Today, we'd like to share a little more about what Clever Carnivore does.

Clever Carnivore meat isn’t an imitation. It isn’t just similar to farm-raised meat, it’s identical — cell for cell.

Their product is beef, pork, or chicken, minus the considerable environmental impact of industrial agriculture and the potential for contamination with agricultural byproducts.

Production begins with a tiny tissue sample from a cow, pig, or chicken. From there, Clever Carnivore meat is grown in a food production facility, similar to a brewery. As the cells grow, they are fed with carefully formulated combinations of perfectly pure nutrients, scientifically tailored to produce high quality, delicious meat.
