Founded in 2018, Mission Barns is a company that conducts research on culturing artificial meat from animal cells. According to the official website, when cells isolated from animals are placed in a thermo-incubator that reproduces the inside of the animal and nourished with vitamins, sugars and proteins, the cells will naturally grow and enlarge, making delicious meat. It seems to be. According to the process developed by Mission Barns, hundreds of tons of meat can be harvested and the taste and taste of meat can be changed by one cell culture.

Such 'artificial bacon' made by Mission Barns was offered as a trial to applicants at two restaurants in the

San Francisco Bay Area . Because the new coronavirus prevented us from eating and drinking in-store, the artificial bacon cooked by Mission Barns Product Development Director was provided in takeaway form. Mission Barns CEO Eitan Fisher said, ``The fat we feel when chewing our artificial bacon is a sensational experience, with a flesh that's so intense that it's hard to believe we're using plant-based ingredients. It makes me feel the taste.'

Mission Barns has enough production capacity to cover just a few restaurants, but we do not plan to sell it by 2020. In recent years, artificial meat has been attracting attention in Europe and America, and major fast food brands such as Kentucky Fried Chicken,

McDonald's and Starbucks are also developing products using artificial meat.

Mission Barns has the advantage of artificial meat that cultured artificial meat has pathogens such as Salmonella and botulinum that cause food poisoning, contaminants such as heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenyls , trans fatty acids that cause heart disease, and residual antibiotics. He cites the absence of substances and claims that artificial meat produced by culture is sustainable, safe and humane.
