Just, a San Francisco-based company, has enough cell-based meat production to pursue commercial sales, reports Bloomberg. The company aims to make its first deal by the end of 2018.

Just notes traditional meat companies are discussing the possibility of helping cell-based meat producers with distribution and providing production facilities. For example, Perfect Day Inc., which is developing an animal-free whey, plans to use Archer Daniels Midland Co.'s facilities to scale up production. Full Story
