A San Francisco startup, Mission Barns, has developed meatballs and bacon using cultivated pork fat from a Yorkshire pig named Dawn, who remains alive at a sanctuary in upstate New York. The products blend the lab-grown fat with plant proteins to mimic traditional meat flavors while reducing environmental and ethical concerns. Tasters report the items taste nearly identical to conventional pork.
