Lab-grown chicken approved for sale in the US

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved the sale of lab-grown meat to the public for the first time. Good Meat and Upside Foods have received approval to begin selling their chicken products commercially. Lab-grown meat is created using cells from living animals, such as a fertilized egg, which is incubated and grown into large masses of meat. The companies plan to roll out their products at partnered restaurants as production costs of the lab-grown meat are far higher than normal butchering, making mass-market sales difficult.
