Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration in the United States of America has said that meat grown in a lab is suitable for human consumption for the first time, it was reported by BBC News.
Upside Foods will take living cells from chickens and grow them in a controlled laboratory environment, avoiding the killing of animals.
Uma Valeti, founder and chief executive of Upside Foods, said via Twitter: “I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time. Upside has received our ‘No Questions Letter’ from the FDA.
“They’ve accepted our conclusion that our cultivated chicken is safe to eat, meaning Upside is one step closer to being on tables everywhere.”
