Shining Light on Farm & Food Policy for 20 Years.
Tuesday, April 23, 2024
USDA issued its first approvals for cell-cultured production last year, but so far, this fledging industry has failed to take flight, while sales of plant-based meats have been falling.
Fresh off this summer’s news that restaurants are now serving up Eat Just’s GOOD Meat’s cultivated meat to U.S. consumers, the company is being sued for breach of contract by two different engineering firms for failing to pay its bills.
The Biden administration has issued the first approvals for cell-cultivated meat production in the United States, offering the green light for two companies to start producing chicken for human consumption.
Calling it a “watershed moment in the history of food,” Uma Valeti, CEO and founder of UPSIDE Foods, praised the first-ever “no questions” letter from the Food and Drug Administration on the safety of UPSIDE's cultivated chicken fillet.
Agribusiness giant ADM has jumped into the cultured meat fray with its first strategic investment in the industry that will partner it with Eat Just Inc.’s GOOD Meat division.
The courts may be getting closer to resolving some high-profile disagreements over the use of the word “meat” in packaging of plant and cell-based products manufactured to resemble meat.
