"US Regulators Approve Sale of Lab-Grown Chicken Meat to Public"

Two California-based companies, Upside Foods and Eat Just, have received full approval from the US Department of Agriculture to sell their lab-grown chicken products in the US. The products are grown using cells from living or once-living animals and are combined with a broth-like mixture to grow the meat inside a steel tank. The move is seen as a way to reduce the environmental impact of traditional animal husbandry and provide consumers with more choices for sourcing their meats. The companies will start small, serving their products in upscale restaurants before eventually making their way to grocery store shelves.
