UPSIDE Foods

This is chicken you can feel good about serving. Grown from real chicken cells. No compromise on flavor. For people who care about what they eat.

Ten years ago, @UmaValeti shared a vision with @BruceGFriedrich: cultivated meat as a real protein alternative. We've come full circle. Honored to host @GoodFoodInst to celebrate Bruce's new book Meat, and a decade of making that vision real. 🌱

Priya makes chicken stir fry for her friend Dom. He loves it. Halfway through she mentions it's cultivated chicken. Dom puts his fork down. No dietary restrictions. No religious objections. No safety concerns. Was Priya wrong?

Things started building in 2016 and never stopped. @TIME named us one of America's Top Greentech Companies, #23 out of 250. We’ve been cooking and something big is coming. Watch this space. Excited to have you along for the ride. 🚀 time.com/article/2026/0…

@LAE1983m We agree about factory grown chicken. Does it change things to know that the cultivated chicken isn't 3D printed? It has the same texture and flavor as conventional chicken.

@UPSIDEfoods Most factory grown broilers aren't worth eating to begin with. My guess in comparison to lab meat is that neither is going to have much flavor by itself. The broiler will probably be stringy. Texturally 3d printed meat looks like bologna with extra steps.

Two pots of chicken soup are on the stove. You taste both & notice no difference. The chicken in one pot is from factory farm bird, like 99% of the chickens in America. The other was grown from real chicken cells in a clean, controlled environment. Is one pot better?

@LAE1983m That's a fair differentiator. We're referring to broiler chickens raised in a factory farm in this case.

@UPSIDEfoods Depends. Quality matters. Those fast growing chicken broiler hybrids don't taste as good as a heritage breed chicken that takes 5 or more months to reach full size.

@BierVicki It is.

@fullmetaljess @UPSIDEfoods But is the texture the same?

@LAE1983m Alright, swap the soup for chicken filet. Is one filet better than the other if they're cooked in exactly the same way?

@UPSIDEfoods Last I checked chicken soup contains more than just chicken. Maybe they taste the same because you're using the same nasty stock in a box to make them with.

@Summerbug06 @ShadowofEzra bet

@ShadowofEzra Bet they won't eat it even though they're pushing it.

Mr. Beast is now being labeled the new Bill Gates as he encourages children to buy and eat lab-grown meat, the same concept promoted by the World Economic Forum. The lab he visited, Upside Foods, claims it has produced hundreds of thousands of pounds of chicken meat without killing a single chicken. Mr. Beast sampled real chicken alongside the lab-grown version and said he noticed no difference at all. He is currently partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation.
