Lab-grown chicken: Upside Foods becomes second US company to secure USDA approval for cell-cultivated poultry
- 19 Jun, 2023
- United States
California’s Upside Foods said on [June 14] it received regulatory approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the label on its cell-cultivated chicken, making it the second company in the United States to secure that approval.
On June 8, California-based Good Meat became the first company to receive the USDA label approval.
“The USDA’s approval of our label marks a major step forward towards our goal of creating a more humane and sustainable food system,” said Dr. Uma Valeti, Upside’s CEO and founder, in a statement.
Both Good and Upside are still awaiting a site inspection from USDA, the final step in the regulatory approval process before their cultivated chicken can go to market.
Upside does not yet have a timeline for when its production facility in Emeryville, California, will be inspected, it said.
…
The FDA and the USDA both play a role in the approval process for cultivated meat: the FDA assesses whether the product is safe for human consumption, and the USDA reviews the product’s label and conducts the facility inspection.
