Summary: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved the sale of cultivated chicken grown directly from animal cells in the United States. The product is produced by GOOD Meat, a division of Eat Just, Inc. and is an alternative to traditional meat derived from cells in a lab. The company has stated that this is a major moment for their company and the industry as a whole.

It begins by extracting cells from animals using a needle biopsy.

No OP, but as a vegan I won't be eating this because it still involves the captivity and exploitation of animals.

Of course the amount of suffering is much reduced compared to the current animal industry, so I do agree that this technology is overall a positive development.
