Lab-grown mammoth DNA used to create meatball

Vow, a cell-based meat company, has created a lab-grown meatball using DNA from the extinct woolly mammoth. The product was unveiled at a science museum in the Netherlands and is made using mammoth myoglobin and the DNA of an African elephant. The meatball is not yet ready for consumption, but Vow hopes to transition meat eaters to "cultured" cell-grown meat that is flavorful and nutritious. The company has used DNA from 50 animal species so far, with energy from renewable sources. Cultured meat products can only be purchased and consumed in Singapore.

FDA Approves Second Lab-Grown Chicken Product for Human Consumption in the US

Good Meat, the cultivated meat unit of Eat Just, has received regulatory clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its production method, making it the second company to receive the "no questions" clearance from the FDA. The company's initial plans are to work with chef José Andrés to sell the company's chicken in one of his Washington, D.C. restaurants. The cultivated meat industry is predicted to reach $25 billion in value by 2030 and is estimated to cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 96% via less water, land use, and energy over the traditional way of using animals to make meat.
