What is MyCompany. FUDZS SAS
Who we are. FUDZS is a company dedicated to create a new way to produce natural and healthy protein sources for humans thanks to cultivated meat technology. We develop a innovative technology to dramatically increase efficiency of bioreactors and to produce a high quality, healthy, tasteful and affordable meat.
Strongly aware of the impact of meat production on CO2 emissions, we work on a sustainable way to anticipate the increase of meat demand by 2050 (+70%). By creating human size production units, we believe in local production, supported by extensive farmers and connected with local markets to avoid food waste and long range transports.

It will be easier to change way to produce meat than it will be to change human nature
Cultivated meat is basically meat produced directly from cells and not coming from animal. The biological process is the same as in a living animal but it occurs in a bioreactor, in aseptic conditions. There is no need of GMO or antibiotics and, of course, no animal are killed in the process.
Cultivated meat is a quite new domain, with the first cultivated burger presented by Pr Mark Post (Maastricht University) in 2013 and the first dedicated company (Upside Foods) created in 2016. The first product on the market was presented in 2019 by JUST Foods in Singapore.
We chose to work in this domain because, compare to all other alternative proteins possibilities, we believe it’s the key to building a more sustainable food system :
We are developing a unique technology to solve the two main problems of today cultivated meat industry: how to scale-up ? how to create meat with the right taste and texture ?
Our process is based on bioactive and edible (food grade) biomaterial. It’s made with a complete green chemistry process with only natural and animal free compounds. Our biomaterial is well adapted to cell growth and allows us to increase the cells amplification and the cells density in bioreactors.
As our biomaterial is bioactive we can incorporate natural protein inside and dramatically reduce the quantity of culture medium needed and the associated costs. As we work in food grade conditions, no need of antibiotic!
Our biomaterial is edible so we don’t need to separate cells from it at the end of the production process (no separation or washing step). It is more easier and less costly to produce cultivated meat.
Our biomaterial is versatile and allows us to create scaffold in different sizes. Large size scaffold is usable at the end of the production process to “stimulate” muscles cells (mechanically and electrically) to reproduce the very structure of meat.
