FDA Approves Lab-Grown Chicken Meat

The U. S. Food and Drug Administration is giving lab grown chicken the green light California based upside down foods, will be able to start selling its products once its facilities have been inspected by the Department of Agriculture. The company's founder and Ceo described the process as similar to brewing beer, but instead of growing yeast or microbes they grow animal cells. The FDA said it had evaluated the information submitted by upside foods and deemed it safe. So far the FDA has only given upside clearance for chicken made from its cultured chicken cells. Advocates hope that cultured meat will reduce the need to slaughter animals for food and help with the climate crisis.
