As Florida’s ban on “lab-grown” meat is set to go into effect, one manufacturer hosted a last hurrah with a cultivated meat-tasting party in Miami.
Staff and guests stand at the entrance to a pop-up tasting event for"lab-grown" meat produced by Upside Foods, as a protest truck parked out front displays a message advocating against cultivated meat, Thursday, June 27, 2024, in Miami. As Florida's ban on lab-grown meat is set to go into effect next week, one manufacturer hosted a tasting party, serving up cultivated chicken tostadas to dozens of attendees on a rooftop in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood.
Cultivated products are grown in steel tanks using cells from a living animal, a fertilized egg or a storage bank. The cells are fed with special blends of water, sugar, fats and vitamins. Once they’ve grown, they’re formed into cutlets, nuggets and other shapes. Reception guest Alexa Arteaga said she could imagine cultivated meat being a more ethical alternative.
“We don’t have any confined animals,” Valeti said. “We just have healthy animal cells that are growing in cultivators.” “We’re hopeful that if lawmakers can’t change their mind and turn things around back to an avenue of progress that the courts will step in and make that clear,” Edgett said.
