Chicken meat will no longer just come from a farm, now they can also come in a laboratory. In USA, the Department of Agriculture has given the green light to sell chicken meat made from its cells. The companies that worked in this sector assure that they aim to create a more sustainable food industry.

Joshua Tetrick, co-founder and CEO of Eat Just, has been working for several years to create chicken meat without killing animals. “We thought about the idea of ​​providing people with the meat they love so muchwithout killing the animal, without all the land and resourcescould be a good way to help us eat better in the future,” admits the owner of the American company.

From their experience in Singapore, where they already approved this measure years ago, they believe that The consumption of these artificial foods is completely safe.. They make it from animal cells and plant substances that they take out of steel tanks with cells from a living animal, a fertilized egg or a special bank of cells.

Tetrick confesses that have animal cells, fat or muscle or plants like beans. They combine them to make all sorts of different food products, from egg to chicken and finally beef and fish.

Right now, in the world there are more than 150 companies growing meat from cells. And not only chicken, but also pork, lamb, fish. At first, this meat will only be sold in luxury restaurants, so we will have to wait to see it in our supermarkets.
