UK regulators have issued the first approval for a company to use chicken cells grown in the lab as an ingredient in pet food.
In a laboratory in west London, Helder Cruz reaches into a fridge and takes out a small plastic tub. The container holds 280 grams of an off-white paste with the consistency of pâté. These are real chicken cells, taken from a fertilized chicken egg and painstakingly grown in the bioreactors opposite. The paste does not look particularly appetizing, but I am not the target audience.
And since meat that goes into pet food is a lot cheaper than meat for humans, the cost of cultivated meat needs to dramatically drop until it’s a viable replacement pet food. There are a few ways Meatly is trying to cut costs.
