FDA approves lab-grown chicken for human consumption in the US.
TL;DR
GOOD Meat, a company that produces chicken and other meat from animal cells without slaughtering animals, has received a "no questions" letter from the FDA, indicating that its cultivated chicken is safe to consume. The company must now obtain a grant of inspection from the USDA to operate its production facility in California. GOOD Meat is the second cultivated meat company to receive FDA clearance, and the company has been selling its chicken in Singapore since 2020. The potential environmental benefits of cultivated meat are significant, and the FDA and USDA are working together to ensure that cultivated meats entering the U.S. market are safe and properly labeled.
