According to the Non GMO Project, USDA issued its approval, in the form of Grants of Inspection (GOIs), to the first products (i.e., chicken) from two cell-cultured meat developers.
The Non GMO Project indicates that the specified on-pack labeling requirement for these two products is “cell-cultivated chicken.”
The Non GMO Project states, “The development of cell-cultured meat and seafood has been shrouded in secrecy, primarily due to the cutting-edge nature of the technology, significant amount of investment at stake, and fierce competition across the field.”
