Last weekend, a group of diners in Singapore were the first in the world to purchase a meal made with cell-based chicken after the country became the first to approve the sale of the food technology in November. The customers gathered at upscale restaurant 1880 in Singapore to sample a four-course meal that highlighted cell-based chicken (real meat grown from a small amount of animal cells without the need to slaughter a chicken) produced by California-based startup Eat Just. Among the first patrons to try Eat Just’s cell-based (also known as “cultured”) chicken were teens and pre-teens, an age group that has shown the biggest concern for creating a better planet.

The restaurant debut of GOOD Meat Cultured Chicken – real, high-quality meat created directly from animal cells for human consumption – followed Singapore s first-in-the-world regulatory approval for the product in November. The inaugural table of customers, which included a group of inspiring young people committed to building a better planet, paid the check on Saturday at 7:23 p.m. Singapore time. About 40 other patrons were set to partake over the course of the launch period.
