Launching the world’s first home delivery of cultured meat
This Earth Day, foodpanda partnered with food company Eat Just for the world’s first home delivery of cultured meat. For the first time, customers are able to taste cultured meat in the comfort of their homes. The partnership marks a significant milestone for both brands in the global effort towards achieving food sustainability, by introducing the first taste of this revolutionary and sustainable meat option.
This follows the Eat Just’s history-making restaurant debut last December. Weeks prior, Singapore became the first country to approve cultured meat, which is real, high-quality meat made from animal cells.
From today, three dishes featuring high-quality chicken made in a brand-new way will be available for delivery on the foodpanda app for a limited period of time in Singapore. The dishes are prepared by Singapore’s 1880, the first establishment chosen to serve cultured meat to customers, and will now be the first to have GOOD Meat dishes delivered by foodpanda. GOOD Meat and foodpanda plan to collaborate with additional restaurants in Singapore to offer new dishes for delivery in the months to come. Starting rom mid-May, GOOD Meat selections from JW Marriott Singapore South Beach will be available on the platform.
