A badge is provided having a lower part (1) including a fixing device (2), for example for fixing on an article of clothing, a support part (3) on which an information carrier (40) can be applied or placed, and a transparent cover part (41). The lower part (1) and support part (3) are connected to each other along the periphery of the parts. At least two of the lower part (1), the support part (3), the cover part (41), and the information carrier (40) are made of a material that is completely biodegradable.

Method for the manufacturing of an elongated, e.g. microfibril structure for the fabrication of cultivated meat, wherein (a) a paste is extruded through an extrusion plate (24) and an adjacent attachment plate (22) with aligned nozzle openings (42, 44) into a space (58) downstream of the second nozzle plate (22), (b) paste located in said space (58) or in the attachment plate (22) is hardened, (c) said paste is continued to be extruded through said extrusion plate (24) while the distance between the attachment plate (22) and the extrusion plate (22) is increased under formation of said elongated, e.g. microfibril structure between said plates (22,24).

An assembly for processing meat travelling along a path of travel and including a marking roller disposed transverse to the path of travel and including at least one but preferably a plurality of marking sections rotatable with the marking roller. Each of the marking sections includes at least one marking member rotatable therewith and extending outwardly therefrom into penetrating relation to meat passing along the path of travel. Penetration of each marking member into the meat produces a mark such as, but not limited to an alpha-numeric character corresponding in configuration to that of the penetrating marking member. A plurality of marking members may be mounted on one or more of the marking sections such that the meat will have a multi-character mark formed thereon as the marking members sequentially penetrate the meat during rotation of the marking roller and passage of the meat along the path of travel.
