* Now that regulators in the United Kingdom have approved the world's first pet food product containing lab-cultured meat, the company that created it is fielding questions about nutritional value, safety and economic viability.
* The British company Meatly wants to start selling its lab-grown pet food next year, should it further shrink its manufacturing
her companies, such as Bond Pet Foods in the U.S., are employing a different method ā precision fermentation ā to brew meat protein for pets.
* Veterinarians have expressed some enthusiasm for the products, but time will tell if producers overcome cost challenges and convince consumers of their green credentials.
Bond Pet Foods, based in Boulder, Colorado, has stopped short of growing muscle cells for pet food. Rather, it's only making meat protein through a process called precision fermentation that essentially involves introducing chicken DNA into yeast cells, then brewing the protein as if it were craft beer. The end product is then dried and ground into a fine powder.
