Grown from animal cells in a bioreactor. No pigs raised. No pigs slaughtered. No antibiotics. No growth hormones. No veterinary drug residues. The first cultivated meat product ever stocked by a US supermarket chain. This is the same Sprouts that confirmed its conventional chicken is supplied by Tyson and Perdue. The same store where "Farmers Market" branding sits next to factory farm supply chains. Now they're selling meatballs that were never inside an animal - next to meat that was pumped with hormones banned in 30 countries. Mission Barns' meatballs are made with a base of pea protein and cultivated pork fat grown from real pork cells. No mechanically separated paste. No sodium nitrite.
