US health officials are on the verge of approving lab-grown meat in a move that could see the products in restaurants and grocers in months.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declared engineered animal products safe for human consumption, paving the way for synthetic animal products to be sold in the US.
Manufacturers are now just waiting on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service to sign off on packaging and labeling criteria.
UPSIDE Foods says it expected to be available in high-end restaurants within months, but companies say they will need to expand production before they have enough stock to be able to supply grocery stores.
Lab-grown meat is made by taking a small sample of cells from livestock, such as chickens or cows.
Singapore is so far the only country in the world to have approved the meats for sale, — although a chicken nugget costs more than $50 to produce, reports CNA.
