The Food and Drug Administration for the first time cleared a lab-grown meat product developed by a California start-up as safe for human consumption, marking a key milestone for cell-cultivated meats to eventually become available in U.S. supermarkets and restaurants. The FDA cleared Upside Foods, formerly known as Memphis Meats, to use animal cell culture technology to take living cells from chickens and grow the cells in a controlled environment to produce cultured animal cell food. The agency said it evaluated Upside Foods production and cultured cell material and has no further questions about the safety of its cultivated chicken filet. The company will be able to bring its products to market once its been inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The world is experiencing a food revolution and the U.S. FDA is committed to supporting innovation in the food supply, FDA Commissioner Robert Califf and Susan Mayne, director of the FDAs Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, said in a statement.

While the FDAs safety sign-off only applies to Upside products, the agency said its ready to work with additional firms developing cultured animal cell food and production processes. The agency said its engaged in discussions with multiple firms about different types of products made from cultured animal cells, including those made from seafood cells. This is a watershed moment in the history of food, Uma Valeti, CEO and founder of Upside Foods, said in a statement. This milestone marks a major step towards a new era in meat production, and Im thrilled that U.S. consumers will soon have the chance to eat delicious meat thats grown directly from animal cells.
