Mission Barns Gains USDA Approval for Cultivated Fat, Announces Restaurant & Retail Launches

Mission Barns has received USDA approval for its cultivated pork fat, allowing it to enter the US market. The company has also gained FDA approval earlier this year, positioning them for limited, high-impact launches with partners such as Sprouts Farmers Market and San Francisco restaurant Fiorella. Through these collaborations, Mission Barns aims to showcase the superior flavor and functional benefits of their cultivated fat across diverse applications, replicating the richness of conventional meat products.

Using proprietary bioreactor technology, Mission Barns is able to efficiently scale high-quality cultivated fat for their ingredient and co-development partners in the food service and CPG sectors. With regulatory approvals in place, the company is now working to accelerate B2B engagement both in the U.S. and internationally, with a growing interest in cultivated fat globally. Mission Barns is poised to meet the anticipated demand for their innovative product and expand their reach to consumers worldwide.
