What the future of meat could now look like

In November 2022, Upside Foods (formerly known as Memphis Meats) became the first cell-cultivated meat company to pass the FDA approval milestone for its chicken product and was well on its way to selling products in grocery stores and restaurants. Now in June 2023, both Upside Foods and competitor Eat Just and its cultivated chicken product Good Meat have received full FDA and USDA approval (Eat Just received its ‘no questions’ letter from the FDA in March), signaling that both can begin selling their products to American consumers.
