Lab-grown chicken has made a debut in a Singaporean restaurant.
PETALING JAYA: Lab-grown chicken has made a debut in a Singaporean restaurant after the country became the first to approve the sale of laboratory cultured meat.
The meat was served at 1880 Singapore, a private member’s club in Robertson Quay, on Saturday. The lab meat was produced by US start-up Eat Just, which was given the “first-in-the-world regulatory approval” by Singapore.
Senior lecturer at the Department of Food Sciences of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Dr Salma Mohamad Yusop said lab meat is cultured or in-vitro meat that is produced by tissue engineering.
