Quote:Once the stuff of science fiction, lab-grown meat could become reality in some restaurants in the United States as early as this year.

Executives at cultivated meat companies are optimistic that meat grown in massive steel vats could be on the menu within months after one company won the go-ahead from a key regulator. In a show of confidence, some of them have signed up high-end chefs like Argentine Francis Mallmann and Spaniard José Andrés to eventually showcase the meats in their high-end eateries.


But to reach its ultimate destination - supermarket shelves - cultivated meat faces big obstacles, five executives told Reuters. Companies must attract more funding to increase production, which would enable them to offer their beef steaks and chicken breasts at a more affordable price. Along the way, they must overcome a reluctance among some consumers to even try lab-grown meat.

Just one country, Singapore, has so far approved the product for retail sale. But the United States is poised to follow. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in November that a cultivated meat product - a chicken breast grown by California-based UPSIDE Foods - was safe for human consumption.

UPSIDE is now hoping to bring its product to restaurants as soon as 2023 and to grocery stores by 2028, its executives told Reuters.

UPSIDE still needs to be inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service and get sign-off from the agency on its labels. A USDA FSIS spokesperson declined to comment on its inspection timeline.

`SLAUGHTERLESS HOUSE`

At UPSIDE's facility in Emeryville, California, lab coat-clad workers were seen poring over touch screens and monitoring giant vats of water mixed with nutrients during a recent Reuters visit. Meat is harvested and processed in a room that chief executive officer Uma Valeti calls the "slaughterless house," where it is inspected and tested.

Reuters reporters were served a sample of UPSIDE's chicken during the visit. It tasted just like conventional chicken when cooked, though was somewhat thinner and had a more uniform tan color when raw.

UPSIDE worked with the FDA for four years before receiving the agency's green light in November, Valeti told Reuters.

"It’s a watershed moment for the industry," he said.

California-based cultivated meat company GOOD Meat already has an application pending with the FDA, which has not been previously reported. Two other companies, Netherlands-based Mosa Meat and Israel-based Believer Meats, said they are in discussions with the agency, company executives told Reuters.

The FDA declined to provide details of pending cultivated meat applications but confirmed it is talking to multiple companies.

Regulatory approval is just the first hurdle for making cultivated meat accessible to a broad swath of consumers, executives at UPSIDE, Mosa Meat, Believer Meats, and GOOD Meat told Reuters.

The biggest challenge companies face is growing the nascent supply chain for the nutrient mix to feed cells and for the massive bioreactors required to produce large quantities of cultivated meat, executives said.

Just more reasons to bow hunt.

I have no problem with this. Anything we can do to increase a healthy (key word) supply the better. It's worth keeping an eye on. I'm still skeptical for now.

Or gun hunt, my bow hunting days are over. Too damn old. I sure do miss it though. There were years that all I hunted with was a bow.

I bought a badass crossbow, a Ravin, but it's just not the same as hunting with my good old compound bow.

I can see you and the Nuge being buds back in the day ...

Yeah, this will end well...God gave us dominion over animals for a reason.

Never said I'd eat it but who am I to say somebody can't try to create and market this product? I'm not sure what the problem is. I won't eat this and I won't eat bugs but somebody else can.

good luck with that ... I'll go Euell Gibbons before thinking about anything along those lines...

If we don’t stop this madness, you will eat this….eventually. They’re goal is to make it the only option or price out real meat where you can’t afford it

……but the elite and powerful - they’ll still eat meat.

Only the peasants will get forced into fake meat and bugs….

Not to mention the massive unknown disease implications

Eff this and the clowns that came up with it.

Another reason for 2A. Shoot that stuff before it gets anywhere near my dinner plate!!!!

Guess I’ll become a full vagetarian.

Maybe these annoying Vegans will just start eating this and go away.

Isn't "lab grown" meat on about the same level as a man claiming that they're a woman???

If climate alarmist people want to eat that, have at it. You'll be doing your part to save mother earth or something.

For me, I'll just stick with what nature provided. Grow my own and maybe become good friends with a rancher.

No ways something made in a lab to look and taste like meat but isn't is good for you. Population control. I've been told to NOT consume processed meat, but I should eat processed something else that tastes like meat? Whatever. I have incisors and canines for a reason and man are they sharp and efficient.

These people are not clowns. These people are just evil. Plain and simple. They act like dictators. They promise a way forward, but end up only inflicting misery on the masses.
