Summary:

Cell-cultured meat (also referred to as lab-grown meat, clean meat, in vitro meat, imitation meat, synthetic meat, and fake meat) is grown in laboratories from animal cellcultures (Figure 1). A number of U.S. cell-cultured meat companies are developing products that some believe could be sold within 3 years in certain markets, and widely available in 10 years. Both the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have released statements claiming oversight of cell-cultured meat (Table 1). FDA held a public meeting in July to discuss the regulation of this new technology.
