The UK has become the first country in Europe to legalize lab-grown meat, starting with pet food products. Meatly's Chick Bites, which are dog treats made from cultivated chicken cells and plant-based ingredients, will soon be available for purchase. This development is seen as a more ethical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional meat sourcing. Cultivated meat is estimated to use significantly less energy, land, and water compared to conventional farming. Meatly claims it can provide a sustainable source of protein for pets indefinitely. No other country has approved lab-grown meat for pets yet, making this a landmark milestone for the industry.
Chick Bites are made without ever involving a chicken. Instead, cells taken from one chicken egg are cultivated in a lab and then combined with plant-based ingredients.
Cultivated meat... is seen as more ethical and environmentally friendly, although the cultivated meat industry does contribute to CO2 emissions... uses 45% less energy than traditional beef farming.
Meatly claims its single sample from egg cells can produce enough protein 'to feed pets forever.' This highlights the efficiency of lab-grown meat.
No country in the world has approved lab-grown meat for pets except the U.K., making Meatly the first company to supply cultivated meat for pet food.
