"Startup creates mammoth meatball using extinct animal DNA"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Business Insider
Australian cultured meat firm Vow has created a giant meatball made with woolly mammoth DNA and lab-made lamb to raise awareness of meat alternatives. However, no one has tasted it due to concerns around potential allergies to the 5,000-year-old protein. The meatball is intended to challenge the public and the meat industry to think differently about how we produce and consume food, highlighting cultured meat as a viable alternative to traditional animal agriculture.
