Lab-grown chicken has taken a step closer to hitting American grocery stores.
The Food and Drug Administration on Monday cleared cultured "cultured chicken cell material" made by GOOD Meat as safe for use as human food. While the FDA said the lab-grown chicken was safe to eat, GOOD Meat still needs approval from the Agriculture Department before i can sell the product in the U.S.
If approved, acclaimed chef José Andrés plans to serve GOOD Meat's chicken to customers at his Washington, D.C. restaurant. He's on GOOD Meat's board of directors.
"The future of our planet depends on how we feed ourselves," he said in a press release. "And we have a responsibility to look beyond the horizon for smarter, sustainable ways to eat."
Upside Foods and GOOD Meat both use cells from chickens to create the cultured chicken products.
Once cells are extracted, GOOD Meat picks the cells most likely to produce healthy, sustainable and tasty meat, the company explained. The cells are immersed in nutrients inside a tank. They grow and divide, creating the cultured chicken, which can be harvested after four to six weeks.
"It's real, delicious meat with an identical nutritional profile to conventionally raised meat but with less impact on our planet and less risk of contamination," GOOD Meat said on its website.
GOOD Meat's chicken is already sold in Singapore.

Are they free range lab grown?
how would you like your tumor cooked?
No, not only no, but Hell no! There’s just too much playing with nature and God’s creatures. The world is becoming a freak show with cloning, this crap and child mutilation that fakes a gender change, just to mention a few little things going on.
If I want to eat chicken, it will be from a real chicken, even if I have to raise them myself.
However I can see the Ukraine cheerleaders lining up for this unGodly crap as well as the covid freaks taking their masks off long enough to gorge themselves on this fake meat.
He's on GOOD Meat's board of directors."
So of no financial interest to the "acclaimed" chef.
In pus gravy please.
1) i think at this point everyone knows the USDA is a 100% lock to approve
2) for the same reasons, no one should have any confidence on the long-term safety of the product for consumption. no one knows. no one in authority cares, as it promises to be potentially profitable.
What arrogance.
"Our planet" neither knows or cares what you eat.
Personally, I don't eat any chicken that I didn't raise, kill and process here on the farm.
FDA is just a political hack outfit
Raise your own or buy meat chickens from a local farmer. They’re not cheap, but are “real” food and raised right (the ones I get are on pasture, any feed is non-soybean/GMO). “Lab grown” anything is not something I would ever eat.
Lab-grown chicken now marketed under the brand name “Soylent Green.”
Why, yes, it’s lab-grown chicken! Don’t listen to those wacky conspiracy theorists!
Are they referring to cancerous tissue from a chicken?
+1
As safe as the Vax.
This is the future. Beef and pork is next. Why stop there? Horse, monkey, and yes, human meat.
They end up destroying the food supply just like they planned
FDA hmmm?
Believe I’ll wait for a second opinion.
The true chicken of tomorrow.
MST3K short.
I still prefer to eat zee bugs. But not the lab grown ones.
FDA LOL
