According to several news reports, a food tech startup has claimed that it has successfully developed the world’s first chicken strip grown from self-reproducing cells without so much as ruffling a feather. Many have said that it tastes like chicken, before a planned big reveal on Wednesday by Memphis Meats Inc.
According to Fox News, scientists, startups and animal-welfare activists believe the new product could help to revolutionize the roughly $200 billion U.S. meat industry. Their goal: Replace billions of cattle, hogs and chickens with animal meat they say can be grown more efficiently and humanely in stainless steel bioreactor tanks. They argue the technique would help the food industry avoid the costs of grain, water and waste-disposal associated with livestock.
