A French startup, Gourmey, is planning to launch a meat-free version of foie gras, a liver specialty, in 2022. The product is made from duck egg stem cells that are divided and turned into liver cells in a nutrient solution. The company has tried the product 600 times to ensure it tastes and textures like the original. The artificial liver product is environmentally friendly, reducing water consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, and does not contain palm oil, antibiotics, or other additives. Due to the traditional association of foie gras with natural meat, it can only be sold under a different name in Europe. Gourmey plans to start shipping the product overseas at the end of 2022.
