Agronomics said UPSIDE Foods’ regulatory backing marked a milestone for the lab-grown meat industry
Agronomics Ltd has hailed the first label approval for a lab-grown meat company as a major milestone for the industry.
The AIM-listed company said the move by the Department of Agriculture to grant UPSIDE Foods Inc permission to label cultivated chicken products as safe to eat in the US would pave the way for other approvals.
“We are delighted that UPSIDE Foods successfully concluded the second of the three steps required to achieve approval for the sale of its products into the US,” Agronomics co-founder Jim Mellon said in a statement. “This clearly indicates the positive direction of travel for our industry, and we are confident that cultivated meat products will soon be on US shelves.”
UPSIDE now faces one final regulatory step before being able to roll out lab-grown products across the US.
