FDA Gives the Green Light to Second Company Producing Cell-Based Meat
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its second premarket consultation for a food made from cultured animal cells intended for human consumption. FDA evaluated the information submitted by GOOD Meat Inc. and has no further questions at this time about the company’s safety conclusion.
GOOD Meat will use animal cell culture technology to take living cells from chickens and grow the cells in a controlled environment to make cultured meat (also known as “cell-based” or “lab-grown” meat). FDA’s present “no further questions” decision follows another premarket consultation that resulted in a “no further questions” determination in November 2022, regarding cultured meat products produced by company UPSIDE Foods.
