Explained | What is lab-grown meat and what did the U.S. recently approve?

The Hindu  

“Cell-cultivated chicken” – that’s the official name of chicken meat that is grown in a laboratory for human consumption. The two companies, Good Meat and Upside Foods, have received the U.S. government’s approval to make and sell their cell-cultivated chicken. In June, the U.S. Department of Agriculture finalised the label “cell-cultivated chicken” for the product being sold, and provided a ‘grant of inspection’, which is required to operate production facilities. Climate scientists have also asked people – especially in richer countries – to reduce their meat consumption, but carnivorous diets remain popular, in turn maintaining lab-grown meat as a promising alternative.
