Future Meat says it produces cultivated chicken, lamb, beef, and pork.

The cultivated meat company Future Meat has raised $347 million from the venture capital arms of ADM and Tyson Foods, as well as from other investors. ADM calls it the largest-ever amount of investment in a cellular meat company. Future Meat opened a facility in Israel last year and plans to start building a US facility this year.
