Upside Foods specializes in cultivated meat, which is produced directly from animal cells rather than through traditional livestock farming. This innovative approach begins with sourcing a small sample of cells from a fertilized heritage-breed chicken egg. The selected cells are then cultivated in a controlled environment, where they are provided with a nutrient-rich feed that includes water, sugars, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and salts. This process allows the cells to multiply and grow into high-quality meat without the need to raise and slaughter animals, promoting a more humane and sustainable method of meat production.

The company operates a facility known as EPIC (Engineering, Production, and Innovation Center), designed to optimize the cultivation process. This facility is equipped with advanced systems for monitoring and controlling the growth conditions of the cells, ensuring safety and quality throughout production. Once the meat is harvested, it undergoes further processing in dedicated rooms for safe food handling, where it can be formulated into various products like chicken filets or sausages. Upside Foods emphasizes compliance with FDA and USDA guidelines, implementing rigorous safety standards to ensure the quality and safety of their cultivated meat products.
