Singapore has given a U.S. start-up company the green light to sell its lab-grown chicken meat at restaurants in the city-state.
It is being considered the world’s first regulatory approval for so-called “clean meat” that does not come from slaughtered animals.
Instead, the meat is grown from animal muscle cells in a lab.
The co-founder of “Eat Just” says the meat will initially be sold as nuggets and will be priced at premium chicken prices.
Demand for alternatives to regular meat is surging due to concerns about health, animal welfare and the environment.
But the lab-made meat is not cheap, which is why development of the product has been slow.
