On June 14, 2023, the USDA approved lab-grown chicken sales by Upside Foods and Good Meat in the US. It’s a significant milestone for the industry. This marks the first time lab-grown meat is allowed for consumer purchase in the United States.
Lab-grown meat is created using animal cells grown in a lab, fed a nutrient-rich solution. The cells multiply and form muscle tissue, which resembles and tastes like conventional meat.
Lab-grown meat has advantages: It’s sustainable, needing no land, water, or feed, and doesn’t emit greenhouse gases. Also, it’s ethical, eliminating cruel treatment of animals in traditional meat production.
The approval of lab-grown chicken by the USDA is a major step forward for the industry. It is likely that other companies will soon be approved to sell lab-grown meat. This could lead to a significant increase in the availability of lab-grown meat in the US. In the future, lab-grown meat could become a more mainstream option for consumers. It could help to reduce the environmental impact of meat production.
