Singapore’s approval of chicken cells grown in bioreactors is seen as landmark moment across industry

Cultured meat, produced in bioreactors without the slaughter of an animal, has been approved for sale by a regulatory authority for the first time. The development has been hailed as a landmark moment across the meat industry.

The “chicken bites”, produced by the US company Eat Just, have passed a safety review by the Singapore Food Agency and the approval could open the door to a future when all meat is produced without the killing of livestock, the company said.

Dozens of firms are developing cultivated chicken, beef and pork, with a view to slashing the impact of industrial livestock production on the climate and nature crises, as well as providing cleaner, drug-free and cruelty-free meat. Currently, about 130 million chickens are slaughtered every day for meat, and 4 million pigs. By weight, 60% of the mammals on earth are livestock, 36% are humans and only 4% are wild.

The cells for Eat Just’s product are grown in a 1,200-litre bioreactor and then combined with plant-based ingredients. Initial availability would be limited, the company said, and the bites would be sold in a restaurant in Singapore. The product would be significantly more expensive than conventional chicken until production was scaled up, but Eat Just said it would ultimately be cheaper.

The cells used to start the process came from a cell bank and did not require the slaughter of a chicken because cells can be taken from biopsies of live animals. The nutrients supplied to the growing cells were all from plants.

The growth medium for the Singapore production line includes foetal bovine serum, which is extracted from foetal blood, but this is largely removed before consumption. A plant-based serum would be used in the next production line, the company said, but was not available when the Singapore approval process began two years ago.

Man-made meat?

Later, they'll begin to lament how cancer OR one pandemic is killing them.

Welcomed development, humanity needs to move faster.

When it becomes cheap, it will flood Nigerian market and Nigerians with their madness for foreign things will prefer Singapore packaged chicken than chicken from local market.

It’s not the first time , get your fact straight mr op
Beyond meat and others have been in business for years now .

Unintelligent statement.
You can’t think of how much pain you create for your love of animal skin.
Imagine a higher being , breeding your generation, caging them all their lives only for them to enjoy your flesh When you’re fat.


Educate yourself man.
You sound primitive.

Ain't buying or eating... I love killing my animals by myself...it gives me the satisfaction and dominance..

Besides God said we could eat all things...so no crime committed here... Science is good but this there doing too much is out of hand.

On Christmas day we r killing a goat and I'm leading d team....I can't wait to slaughter it and spills its blood all over

Another virus loading

this is madness

make dem no import this rubbish here oo, we have more than enough fowl to eat abeg

local fowls tastes sweeter and their meats are very matured and they can withstand heat and ingredients of any kind


which one is cell of meat gwon in bioreactor, nonsense

You must be a carpenter cos you nailed it.

I won't be a party to this, provided the eating of actual animal meat is not banned.

i guess other animals that need to feed based on food chain will have to create their own kinds of prey too before they can eat


its called food chain you dumb skull, and humans are the apex

As in eeeh science is part of our problem

I’m glad you brought this up fish brain...

Lower animals are in that category because of their level of intelligence. You need to be demoted to this category.

Some humans are higher animals ( this doesn’t include you and the 3 fools that like fish smell from your fish brain) because we humans are problem solving animals and can find ways to solve complex problems.

Lower animals Can’t do any better because they operate on instincts.
We humans ( at least some of us)
Realize how much pain and suffering lower animals go through and that’s why industries are going beyond “meat” try to make a sub for animal meat just to try and reduce their suffering . This includes breeding animals just so you can eat it’s flesh.

If you don’t get the argument read about it and stop making such a fool of yourself...

Other animals can’t solve most of their problems but we can. We have . And we will eventually go beyond meat.

You embracing it or not is your problem .

Now Fuucck OFF

You took the statement out of my mouth.

Humans produced, human approved it. Who are we deceiving?

But they said lab grown meat is not very tasty as they haven't been able to grow fat and some complex muscles on it.

It sounds bad but you eat other things that are man made without realizing it.
