Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It's the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.

I haven't looked into it, but hopefully they don't culture the cells in FBS.

Yeah that was the last info I had on developments like these: FBS: Fetal Bovine Serum. Blood from a foetus of a slaughtered pregnant cow, commonly used in growing cell cultures due to all the growth factors that go into growing a baby cow.

this here says their cells are cultivated without animal products
