6 Places That Have Approved Cultivated Meat And 5 That Have Banned It

The article from MSN discusses the global landscape of cultivated meat, which is produced by growing animal cells in a lab rather than traditional farming. As of the latest updates, six places have approved the sale of cultivated meat: Singapore was the first in 2020, followed by the United States (specifically California and Washington, D.C.), Israel, the Netherlands, and China. These approvals signify a step towards integrating lab-grown meat into the food supply, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of meat production and address ethical concerns about animal welfare. Conversely, five regions have imposed bans or restrictions on cultivated meat: Italy, France, Austria, Hungary, and Russia. These bans are often driven by cultural resistance to lab-grown foods, concerns over food safety, and the desire to protect traditional farming industries. The debate around cultivated meat involves considerations of innovation, sustainability, and economic impacts, with different countries taking varied stances on this emerging technology.
