Cultivated grown is on its way to American plates \u2014 and European startups want a spot in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

In a landmark moment for the sector, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given two companies approval to sell lab-grown meat, which is made by taking cells from living animals. After extraction, the cells are placed in a bioreactor and grown into muscle tissue. Finally, the flesh is shaped into the type of cuts found on supermarket shelves.<\/p>\n

Proponents say the process reduces our carbon footprint and prevents animal suffering, while producing the same meat products that we know and love. It could also be big business: consulting firm <\/span>McKinsey predicts<\/span><\/a> the market for cultivated meat could reach $25 billion (\u20ac23 billion) by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

That market could now slowly start to open up. Only Singapore had previously permitted sales of cultivated meat. The USDA approval brings one of the world\u2019s biggest consumers and producers of meat to the table. It could also push other countries to take a seat.<\/p>\n

In Europe<\/a>, cultivated meat startups<\/a> want regulators to follow the USDA\u2019s lead. Among them are 3D Bio-Tissues, a Newcastle University spin-out<\/span>. In February, the Newcastle University spin-out unveiled the first-ever lab-grown steak fillet<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Che Connon, the firm\u2019s CEO, described the new approvals as \u201ca monumental milestone\u201d for the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cUS regulations for food safety are some of the most stringent in the world\u2026 This decision has the potential to rapidly accelerate the development of the cultivated meat market in America and provides a clear framework for other countries to also follow,\u201d he said.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
