The United States has granted its first ever approvals to two companies to sell chicken grown directly from animal cells, becoming only the second country to allow lab-grown meat to be offered to consumers. ManilaBulletin
The US Department of Agriculture approved food safety systems at facilities of Upside Foods and Good Meat, a spokesperson for the agency told AFP Wednesday, with the companies adding the products would be available soon at select restaurants.
Good Meat, meanwhile, started production of its first batch that will be sold to celebrity chef and philanthropist Jose Andres.Several start-ups are aiming to produce the so-called lab-grown meat, which would allow humans to consume animal protein without the associated environmental harms of farming or animal suffering.
After several weeks, the result product is "harvested" from the tank and molded into shapes, such as chicken filet or satay. This is because of the energy required and greenhouse gasses emitted across all stages of production.
