For the first time, lab-grown meat products can now be sold in the US. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved two California-based companies, namely Upside Foods and Good Meat, to make and sell lab-grown chicken. The first step involved in the process of making lab-grown meat, also referred to as "cultured" or "cultivated" meat, is harvesting cells from the tissues of a living animal.
