About Eat Just (USA)
Eat Just, headquartered in San Francisco, California, is a private company specializing in the development and promotion of plant-based alternatives to conventional egg products, alongside cultivated meat products.
Founded in 2011 by Josh Tetrick and Josh Balk, the company secured approximately $120 million in early venture capital, achieving unicorn status in 2016 with a valuation surpassing $1 billion.
Engaging in notable conflicts with traditional egg industry stakeholders, Eat Just made history in December 2020 when its cultivated chicken meat became the first cultured meat to receive regulatory approval in Singapore. Following this milestone, Eat Just achieved another first with the “world’s first commercial sale of cell-cultured meat” as its cultured meat reached diners at the Singapore restaurant 1880.
Eat Just has a brand called GOOD Meat, which has received in 2023 permission to sell cultured meat in the USA.
Nowadays
In May, 2022, Eat Just signed a contract with ABEC Inc., which manufactures bioprocess equipment, to build 10 bioreactors for growing meat. Tetrick estimates that the new bioreactors could potentially produce 30 million pounds of cultured meat per year. The location for the bioreactors is pending regulatory approval by the Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 2023, ABEC filed a lawsuit again Eat Just for breach of contract. The lawsuit alleges that Eat Just has failed to live up to its financial obligations and has failed to pay over $30 million worth of invoices.
Eat Just partnered with C2 Capital Partners in 2022, receiving $25 million from the private equity firm to expand Eat Just’s operations in China.
In April 2023, Barnes & Noble launched breakfast sandwich made with Just Egg in 500 B&N Cafés nationwide.
