Vow, an Australian cultured meat company, wants you to know that it's made a meatball out of mammoth meat which may or may not be tasty.
As far as food goes, this is about as Frankenstein of a creation as it gets. First, Vow scientists grabbed the mammoth DNA sequence for myoglobin, a skeletal muscle protein found in mammals, and then filled in the gaps using elephant DNA.
And for the scientists involved, there's nothing sheepish about using lamb cells. The meatball, they say, is still mostly mammoth. "I've got no idea what the potential allergenicity might be of this particular protein," Ryall said. "It's not going to go up for sale, because we've got no idea about the safety profile of this particular product."
