Original caption

Tyson Foods has spent years investing in cultivated meat technology. Now, in 2026, thousands of workers are being impacted as the company restructures and closes traditional meat-processing facilities. To be clear: there’s no evidence these layoffs are happening because of Tyson’s lab-grown meat investments. Tyson says cattle shortages and major losses in its beef business are driving the cuts. But when one of America’s largest meat companies is shrinking parts of its traditional operation while also investing in alternative ways to produce meat, it’s worth paying attention to where the industry may be headed. Especially when that company is supported by heavily Republican cattlemen and farmers. #TysonFoods #LabGrownMeat #CultivatedMeat #tyson #beef
