‘Lab-grown’ meat maker hosts Miami tasting party as Florida ban goes into effect
Associated PressMIAMI — As Florida’s ban on “lab-grown” meat is set to go into effect next week, one manufacturer hosted a last hurrah — at least for now — with a cultivated meat-tasting party in Miami. “And we just fundamentally believe that people should have a choice to choose what they want to put on their plate.” The U.S. approved the sale of what’s now being called “cell-cultivated” or “cell-cultured” meat for the first time in June 2023, allowing Upside Foods and another California company, Good Meat, to sell cultivated chicken. “And then when you go to eat it, it’s juicy.” Reception guest Alexa Arteaga said she could imagine cultivated meat being a more ethical alternative. “I mean, there’s no way you would ever know.” Besides the ethical issues surrounding the killing of animals, Valeti said cultivated meat avoids many of the health and environmental problems created by the meat industry, such as deforestation, pollution and the spread of disease.
