Do you know what’s being served in this dish? ⬇️     This is the first cultivated chicken meat dish served at a Michelin-starred restaurant in the US.     While it seems like we’re closer than ever to having cultivated meat on our supermarket shelves, there are still some barriers that need to be addressed:  🏭 Technology scale-up that can produce cultured meat in a profitable, yet sustainable way.  🐄 Ethical concerns around the reliance of animal-derived products in growth media.  📝 Regulatory reform to streamline approvals processes.    At our Novel Food Innovation Centre in Wilton, Redcar, we have the expertise to help accelerate this innovative alternative protein source to our supermarkets and transform our future food systems.    Jude Huggan, our Business Development Manager, tells us more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eJ6gbG8m      Kris Wadrop Syed Kamal Bukhari John Carslake Jonathan Rand Deepan Shah     #CultivatedMeat | #FoodSystems | #CarbonEmissions  #LetsInnovateTogether | #Innovation | #Sustainability Image source: Upside Foods
