'No kill' meat, grown from animal cells, is now approved for sale in the U.S.
News@kbin.social – 55 points – npr.org
Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It's the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.
The sooner we switch, the better off we'll be environmentally, too.
Super cool, I'm excited to try it out once it's available.
Fantastic! I hope this industry takes off and is soon available everywhere.
I haven't looked into it, but hopefully they don't culture the cells in FBS.
Yeah that was the last info I had on developments like these: FBS: Fetal Bovine Serum. Blood from a foetus of a slaughtered pregnant cow, commonly used in growing cell cultures due to all the growth factors that go into growing a baby cow.

this here says their cells are cultivated without animal products
