UPSIDE Foods’ Post

🍽️⚖️ Florida is facing a lawsuit over its law banning cultivated meat, but this raises an important question: why ban something that isn’t commercially available yet and poses no food safety issues? 🧐 Cellular ag isn't scalable, and it doesn't offer clear consumer drivers like being healthier, tastier, or cheaper. While consumers are curious, they’re not actively seeking it out. Without real safety concerns from the FDA or USDA, it’s puzzling to see such a law take shape.

Upside Foods Sues Florida Over Cultivated Meat Ban. Upside Foods has filed a lawsuit challenging Florida's ban on cultivated meat, arguing that it violates the Constitution and restricts consumer choice. This bold move highlights the critical issue of protecting innovation and the rights of consumers to choose their food. "The government has no right to tell consumers who want to try cultivated meat that they’re not allowed to," says Paul Sherman of the Institute for Justice. This law isn't about safety—it's about stifling innovation and protecting entrenched interests at the expense of consumer choice. We stand with Upside Foods in advocating for food innovation and the freedom to choose what we eat.

Last month we were talking about the viability for ‘cultivated’ meat entering the UK food chain (catch up here if you missed it https://lnkd.in/gWW-bhAZ ), but have we now moved a step closer?    It’s been widely reported that London start-up Meatly, has developed the world’s first lab-grown cat food – with chicken as a source of protein. According to The Grocer, the “cruelty-free chicken” was created in collaboration with the company’s first brand partner, Omni, which focuses on creating novel proteins.    Meatly says that 20% of meat is currently used to feed our pets – and they have a solution that’s kinder, more sustainable and just as nutritious and delicious!   With owners turning to quality products, and a nutrition led approach to feeding their pets, is this indicative of things to come for our food too? https://lnkd.in/gbuDt6VU #culivatedmeat #labgrown #futurefood #foodtechnology

Is Europe losing its cultivated meat competitive edge? Despite VCs investing $121m across 17 deals in 2023, according to Dealroom, the EU’s food regulator — the European Food Safety Authority — has yet to approve any cultivated meat products for human consumption.
