Jun 23, 2019 · But for those who want something closer to the real thing, meat cells can be grown in a laboratory – this is called “in vitro agriculture”. Here’s how it works.

Cultured meat is grown from nonspecific animal cells coaxed into forming tissues we'd be happy to eat, such as fats, muscle, and connective tissues.
Jan 16, 2019 · The cells created can be of different lineages — muscle cells, fat cells or tissues — allowing producers to create different types of meat such as steak or chopped burger. So is it really meat? Well, sort of. Clean meat is made from stem cells extracted from real, live animals.

Lab-grown meat refers to meat developed from animal cell culture, and not via traditional raising and slaughter of living animals.1It is not an imitation of meat made with other ingredients, like plant-based burgers that are made from plant-based proteins. The production process can be broken down into four steps:1 1. A sample of stem cells is take...
The first time a cultivated beef patty was introduced to the world was in August 2013. The meat was developed by a team led by Mark Post, of Maastricht University. At the moment, there are about 60 start-ups aiming to produce and sell cultivated meat, and not just beef, but also chicken, duck, seafood, foie gras, kangaroo, and more.
Animal welfare is one reason for producing lab-grown meat. This production method can produce meat without the need for raising and slaughtering a large number of animals and therefore, has the potential to increase animal welfare within the food system.2 However, the process currently still relies on stem cells obtained from a live animal, and the...
Lab-grown meat is an old food produced in a new way, which raises a few questions. In the early days, vegans and vegetarians would have rejected lab-grown meat completely, because it used foetal bovine serum (FBS) as the growth medium. However since then, companies have been working to replace FBS with a growth medium that doesn’t come from animals...
While Jewish and Muslim religious authorities have yet to express an official opinion on this, some believe that it could eventually be considered kosher or halal.9,10Others disagree. Meat that is kosher or halal must come from an animal that has been slaughtered following specific rules, that can be complicated to apply to this non-traditional pro...
As a novel food, cultivated meat must be approved by national food safety authorities before it can be sold to consumers. The only country in the world where this has happened so far is Singapore, although the US is also making progress towards this goal. Singapore has introduced strict measures for the safety assessment of cultured meat which is c...
If lab-grown meat is going to replace a significant percentage of the meat that we eat, consumer acceptance will be key. Current studies indicate that people are still quite reluctant to accept cultured meat, although acceptance can be increased by the way information about the product is presented.12 For now, people seem more likely to prefer plan...
