A New Approach to Cultivated Meat with Vow's George Peppou

In this episode of The Spoon Podcast, Mike chats with George Peppou, founder and CEO of Vow, the Australian startup pushing the boundaries of cultured meat.

George shares how his background in science, food, and invention led to building a company that creates entirely new types of meat—like quail foie gras. He dives into Vow’s approach to scaling production, including the in-house design of the world’s largest food-grade bioreactor, and how they’re defying industry trends by continuously selling cultivated meat in Singapore while others have stopped production. George also discusses regulatory progress in Australia and New Zealand, what it takes to bring cultured meat to grocery shelves, and why Vow is now being approached by others in the space for manufacturing support.
