Singapore approves sale of lab-grown meat in world first
Context: Singapore to support high-tech farming and new means of food production.
- Singapore has given U.S. start-up Eat Just the green light to sell its lab-grown chicken meat, in what the firm says is the world’s first regulatory approval for so-called clean meat that does not come from slaughtered animals.
- The so-called clean or cultured meat, which is grown from animal muscle cells in a lab, is still at a nascent stage given high production costs.
- The Singapore Food Agency said it had reviewed data relating to process, manufacturing control and safety testing before granting approval.
