USDA approves lab-grown chicken for consumption.
TL;DR Summary
The USDA has granted UPSIDE Foods permission to sell its lab-grown poultry to Americans, making it the first company to sell cell-cultured meat in the US. The process involves taking cells from the desired animal and isolating them in a lab, feeding them a blend of minerals, salt, vitamins, sugars, water, and amino acids, and then molding them into the familiar shape of poultry. The product can be seasoned, breaded, fried, and more. At first, the lab-grown chicken will be available in a limited number of restaurants, including chef Dominique Crenn's San Francisco eatery Bar Crenn.
