The ever-increasing population in the world and the dwindling agricultural resources have led humanity to seek new food sources. In this context, many technologies and researches were studied. Artificial nutrients were tried to be created by trying different plant sources. As a result, artificial chicken meat production was achieved. The USA, on the other hand, has signed a first in this regard. Here are the details about the production of artificial chicken meat…
The USA allowed the sale of artificial chicken meat!
Artificial foods have been a very controversial issue in recent years. Even for foods such as frozen chicken and potatoes, which are famous for the first emergence of fast food chains, there are many different opinions for artificial foods that have emerged while the debate continues. One group argues that artificial foods developed in a laboratory environment and produced in natural ways should be consumed. One group argues that this is pure nonsense and that such nonsense can harm human health.
One of the most interesting decisions on the subject was that Singapore was the first country in the world to allow the sale of artificial meat. Recently, a decision on this issue came from the USA. According to the decision taken by the authorized institutions in the United States, companies named Upside Foods and Good Meat were allowed to produce and sell artificial meat.
In the first place, these meats will be given to consumers through restaurants. Many restaurants have already placed their orders and even companies may have started production to meet these needs. So how is artificial chicken meat produced? Does it contain real chicken meat?
How is artificial chicken meat produced?
In fact, real animals are both used and not used in this process. It should be noted that it is a somewhat complex process. Moreover, contrary to popular belief, artificial meat production is not cheap but more expensive. If technology develops and the artificial meat sector starts to gain acceptance, production costs may decrease.
However, considering that some companies will reduce their production quality and hygiene in order to reduce costs in the food sector, it may not be a healthy idea. In short, since artificial meat has the potential to cause problems that may seriously threaten human health, a good control mechanism must be developed.
As for the artificial meat production, it is made with cells taken from real animals. The tissue cells taken are reproduced in the laboratory environment and meat tissues are formed. Chicken breast is perhaps one of the most used meats in Turkish cuisine. To produce it artificially, a small tissue is taken from the breast of the chicken and the cells in this tissue are multiplied. Afterwards, artificial chicken meat is produced.
