Lab-Grown Chicken Available in Singapore

Lab-grown chicken, containing only 3% animal cells, is now being sold at Huber's Butchery in Singapore. This marks the first time cultivated meat with real animal cells grown in bioreactors is available for retail purchase, a step beyond limited availability in high-end restaurants. Although the chicken contains mostly plant protein to reduce costs, it has received positive feedback on taste and appearance, potentially indicating a shift in the cultivated meat industry towards more widely accessible products.
