Singapore’s approval of chicken cells grown in bioreactors is seen as landmark moment across industry

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.

Dozens of firms are developing cultivated chicken, beef and pork, with a view to slashing the impact of industrial livestock production on the climate and nature crises, as well as providing cleaner, drug-free and cruelty-free meat. Currently, about 130 million chickens are slaughtered every day for meat, and 4 million pigs. Of all the mammals on Earth, 60% are livestock, 36% are humans and only 4% are wild.

The cells for Eat Just’s product are grown in a 1,200-litre bioreactor and then combined with plant-based ingredients. Initial availability would be limited, the company said, and the bites would be sold in a restaurant in Singapore. The product would be significantly more expensive than conventional chicken until production was scaled up, but Eat Just said it would ultimately be cheaper.

P.S. This is different from products like Impossible Meat and Beyond Meat. Those are plant-based alternatives to meat, while this is actual meat grown in a lab.

I hope this becomes a success. I've dialed back on my meat consumption because of the cruelty with which we treat the animals (humans are a sick species). Would be nice to enjoy meat again without feeling guilty.

Hmmm. Tastes like chicken.

This lab grown meat, it is nothing like Quorn?

I've reduced meat a lot, but want the real thing and not that so called soy substitute that has been  pushed down throats....for one thing Soy destroys the thyroid...I was on that path when soy first came to the U.S. in the form of milk and until I was tested was falling over with fatigue, thyroid was being messed up.

Also, Soy or Soya is high in protein and is no good for gout sufferers.

Same, except I've failed at cutting back on meat. I still feel guilty about it though, I don't think eating meat is moral, so I'm rooting for thing's success so my lazy butt can avoid all the hard work.

No, it is meat, grown in a lab instead of a live animal on a farm. It's meat but no animals are harmed.

Edit: Oh for some reason I misread that as Quinoa. Quorn is not a brand I'm familiar with, but it looks like a plant-based meat alternative. This is NOT a meat alternative or plant-based, it is actual meat.

Quorn is plant based meat.
