Cell feed production

Cultivated protein has the potential to help ensure the growing world population has enough nutritious protein to thrive in years to come. Nutreco has found its niche on the cutting edge of this new industry as a producer of cell feed, a food-grade basal media that enables animal cells to grow and multiply in a bioreactor.

Scaling up to support industry growth

Nutreco opened the world’s first food grade pilot plant to develop cell feed for the cultivated protein industry in 2024. We are now producing food-safe cell feed that provides an efficient feed-to-food conversion at a higher scale and lower cost than traditional pharmaceutical media.

Feeding the Future will mean very different things in decades to come. Supplying feed to the cultivated protein industry is just one way we are ensuring that Nutreco helps lead this change.
