"Walmart's Refusal to Refund 'Stringy' Chicken Leads to Customer Backlash"

A TikTok user, Chet DeLeo, went viral after claiming he may have purchased "lab-grown chicken" from Walmart, showing that the raw meat could be peeled into strings. However, experts explain that this phenomenon, known as "spaghetti meat," is a result of the meat industry's efforts to make chickens grow bigger more quickly. DeLeo attempted to get a refund from Walmart but was refused, leading to mixed reactions from commenters who pointed out that he didn't have the chicken or package, only the receipt.

The Future of Lab-Grown Chicken: From Restaurants to Stores

Lab-grown chicken, cultivated from chicken cells, is making its way to restaurant tables at chef José Andrés' Washington, D.C., restaurant. Good Meat, a California-based company, supplies the lab-grown poultry, which is considered more sustainable than traditional livestock farming. While some researchers caution that the environmental impacts of cultivating meat need monitoring, many people are open to trying it. The cultivated chicken will eventually be available in stores once production is scaled up, with the company's next target being lab-grown beef.

USDA approves lab-grown chicken for sale in the US, raising questions about food safety and climate impact.

The USDA has approved the sale of lab-grown chicken, allowing companies like UPSIDE Foods and Eat Just to begin producing and selling the product. While it may take years before lab-grown chicken is available in regional grocery chains due to price competition with conventionally raised livestock, the companies are working to increase production. The approval involves a rigorous process, including assessing a firm's food-safety system. Lab-grown meat is grown in steel tanks using cells from a living animal, making it real meat, not "fake meat." Advocates describe it as clean, safe, and humane compared to conventional ways of raising livestock.

USDA Approves Sale of Cell-Cultured Meat in the US

The USDA has granted inspection approval to three California-based companies, Upside Foods, Good Meat, and Good Meat's manufacturing partner, Joinn Biologics, to produce and sell lab-grown chicken in the US. The companies harvest cells from viable animal tissue and grow edible flesh under controlled conditions in bioreactors, flesh they say will be identical to that raised conventionally. The move brings the no-slaughter protein a step closer to American dinner plates, and dozens of major food companies are eager to debut cultivated meat to the American public.
