Cultured meat, produced in bioreactors without the slaughter of an animal, has been approved for sale by a regulatory authority for the first time. The development has been hailed as a landmark moment across the meat industry.
The “chicken bites”, produced by the US company Eat Just, have passed a safety review by the Singapore Food Agency and the approval could open the door to a future when all meat is produced without the killing of livestock, the company said.
I have heard to environmental cost is Far higher than for real food production. Plus the vegan stuff I have seen is Far higher in salt, generally speaking.
Are they really identical to actual meat?
I don't think so, but that doesn't bother me. I would love to have a no kill meat alternative.
