Meati Foods vs Planted

Meati Foods was a Boulder, Colorado maker of whole-cut mycelium 'steaks' and cutlets that raised about $450 million; the operating company collapsed in 2025 after a lender swept its cash, and its assets were sold for roughly $4 million.

Planted is a Swiss food-tech company that uses extrusion and a 'biostructuring' fermentation process to make whole-cut plant-based chicken, steak and other meat alternatives for European retail and foodservice.
