The UK has become the first European country to approve lab-grown meat to be sold to the public, with the synthetically developed protein expected to appear on the shelves as early as this year.
British regulators have given the approval to UK-based firm Meatly to begin selling its lab-grown meat as dog food to the public. The approval paves the way for taste-test trials with dogs to begin for its new pet food, which will include proteins derived from cultivated chicken cells.
The co-founder and CEO of the startup, Owen Ensor told The Telegraph on Wednesday: “The European Union has traditionally been a more conservative regulator and the US is getting embroiled in food politics – unnecessarily, in my opinion. So the UK can really step up here.

500 years ago, they required that meat sold to the public be baited by dogs. Probably just an excuse to pit bulldogs...real bulldogs (Staffordshire Terriers, not the brachycephalic English Bulldog)...against bulls, for sport.
Lab-grown meat has rights. This is an obvious case of lab-grown meat abuse.
I’m sorry. The Brits sure make a good full breakfast.
What are YOU talking about? The UK is not in Brexit, but the vast majority of its food trade is with Europe, and it still uses CODEX standards.
Call it what it is - a chemical concoction.
Did our nation hand over our country to the POTATUS and his Deep State masters...?
See where I’m going with this?
No doubt we allowed something as bad or worse to happen to the US.
The UK has a Deep State, too.
I think the UK’s populace, however, is willing to tolerate a flock of a lot more than we are.
Lol, Soylent Green is people!
Uk!
approved for dog food only ... so-called lab-grown “meat” is bound to be more expensive than the real thing ... i’d be surprised if a market for this stuff is big enough to sustain the necessary shelf space ...
If you’ve only ever tasted the sort of beef sold in the main British supermarket chains, that might be a fairish assessment. But if you’ve tried slow-reared, rough grassland-fed, properly hung Galloway or Devon Red ‘wild’ beef from Dartmoor sold through a local butcher (and its equivalents elsewhere in the country) it’s a very different story.
The same goes for potatoes - although in recent years even the mass-market supermarkets have greatly increased their range of potato varieties sold. But still nothing like the locally grown produce sold through farm shops and farmers’ markets etc.
If you know where to look, the quality of fresh produce on sale in Britain is as high as you will find anywhere - at a price.
That is true. Especially the organic produce in Britain is excellent, as is the classic British beef 😀
Sadly, they are not exported to any great extent, as far as I know. The British obviously prize these specialties very much themselves, and enjoy them themselves 😀
Stichelton (sic) cheese - hmmmm!
