Can You Call Lab Grown Meat "Meat?"
125What's the beef?! Kim and John Iadarola break it down. Give us your thoughts in the comments below!
"For the first time, a major part of the US beef industry is taking aim at tech startups creating cultured meat — also known as lab-grown meat or clean meat — that's grown in a lab using animal cells.
The US Cattlemen's Association (USCA) has filed a 15-page petition to the USDA asking the agency to strictly define "meat" and "beef" as animals raised and slaughtered.
The group, comprised of farmers across the US, argues that lab-grown meat does not meet that definition, and that labeling cultured products as "meat" will confuse consumers."
