The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently deemed meat that is grown using animal cells as being safe for human consumption.
While these alternatives to traditionally-produced animal meats are not yet available for consumers, the FDA’s decision is a key step in the process.
Lab-grown options may offer similar nutritional benefits, but a smaller environmental impact compared to conventionally-produced animal protein.
While you can’t get it at the deli in the U.S. right now, lab-grown meat is one step closer to being a reality. In November 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that cultivated meat is “safe for human consumption.”1
For people who want to avoid conventionally-processed meat but don’t necessarily want to be meat-free, the emerging science of cultivated meat could be the sweet spot. The meat can be grown in a lab using just a few cells taken from an animal.
