Hi All,
I'd like to understand what are the health benefits of cell-based meat/seafood and how they are perceived by consumers.
I understand that the sterile environment cultivated meat/seafood is produced in helps prevent food contamination, foodborne illnesses and improve food safety. I was wondering though if there are some estimates on the real impact.
I assume lab-grown food can be fortified and modified to improve its inner health qualities (e.g. less saturated fats, more vitamin D1). Is there any available information on whether lab-grown food companies would eventually do that? And what would be the impact?
Thank you all for your help
Lucia
Cell-based meat has the potential to be healthier than regular animal meat because it can be engineered to contain more protein, essential amino acids and vitamins while reducing the amount of saturated fat and minimizing the chance of animal-borne illnesses (such as salmonella and E. coli) contaminating the meat. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fake-meat-better-you-or-environment-n1065231
