Lab-Grown Meat Production Reaches Commercial Scale

Several cultivated meat companies have announced they have reached cost parity with traditional meat production, making lab-grown meat commercially viable for the first time. The breakthrough comes after years of research into cell culture techniques and bioreactor optimization. Companies like Good Meat and Upside Foods are now producing cultivated chicken, beef, and pork at scale, with products expected to hit grocery stores by 2024. This development could significantly reduce the environmental impact of meat production while providing a sustainable alternative to traditional farming.
