Lab-Grown Meat Has a Bigger Problem Than the Lab

Leading scientists agree that cultured meat products wonโ€™t give you cancer, but the industry doesnโ€™t have the decades of data to prove itโ€”so itโ€™s trying to avoid the question instead.

If you avoid meat to cut down on animal crueltycarbon emissions or both, your options are a lot better than they were a decade ago, which is to say theyโ€™reโ€‰โ€ฆโ€‰fine. For people who can afford to pay a premium, veggie burgers and nuggets from the likes of Beyond Meat Inc. and Impossible Foods Inc. are a much tastier option than the average imitation-meat entrees of the past. What they arenโ€™t, though, is meatโ€”and many such products are so packed with salt and saturated fat that they probably shouldnโ€™t be a staple of most diets. There is, however, another option on the way for those in search of better guilt-free protein: growing meat from cells in a lab, without raising any living animals for slaughter. Yes, really.

Thank the biotech revolution. Under the right conditions, animal cells can be grown in a petri dish, or even at scale inย factories full of stainless-steel drums. For decades, companies such asย Pfizer Inc.ย andย Johnson & Johnsonย have cultured large volumes of cells to produce vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and other biotherapeutics. Now the idea is that we might as wellย eat these cells, too.
