“Meat” that’s grown from cells multiplied in fermentation
tanks has now received final approval for production and sale in the United
States.
The first step which came earlier this week was approval for
labels that describe the products fashioned from these animal, poultry or fish
cells.
The second, which came Wednesday, is provision of inspectors
from the United States Department of Agriculture to oversee facilities and
production processes.
Upside Foods and Good
Meat, two companies that make what they call “cultivated chicken,” both
received approvals.
Good Meat, which is
owned by plant-based
egg substitute maker Eat Just, said that production is starting
immediately. Cultivated or lab-grown meat is grown in a giant vat, much like
what you’d find at a beer brewery.
