Question

A facility in Emeryville was revealed to produce this substance in roller bottles instead of bioreactors, as claimed by Uma Valeti. In June, Upside and a company named for a “GOOD” type of this substance were cleared to sell it in the United States after the latter’s rollout in Singapore. The first proof of concept for a synthesis of this substance was presented in 2013 by Dutch engineer Mark Post with anonymous funding (10[1])from Sergey Brin. That synthetic form of this substance is made by seeding stem cells grown in fetal bovine serum to scaffolds. A company imitates (10[1])this substance with soy leghemoglobin, whose iron-containing heme group mimics this substance’s taste. For 10 points, name this general class of foodstuff, substitutes for which are made by Beyond and Impossible Foods. ■END■
