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.

Parts is parts.
The FDA will ‘clear’ anything you pay them too.
“The FDA also cleared Thalidomide for use by pregnant women.”
I’d clap, but I have no arms... :(
Yeah. Mother Government and I have a long history of NOT trusting one another.
(I, myself, DO have arms. All the better to do battle with her!)

Why should we believe them?
Everything is political today and our current government has an agenda, and this just stinks of their plans for the serfs - no real food for you, you get bugs and lab grown goo.
According to the FDA, anything that doesn’t kill you outright is “Safe”.
Thanks but I’ll stick with real chicken.I no longer trust one word the FDA says any longer after the Covid vaccine disaster.
