(Reuters) -California’s Upside Foods said on Wednesday it received regulatory approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the label on its cell-cultivated chicken, making it the second company in the United States to secure that approval.<\/p>\n

Several companies are seeking approval from U.S. regulators for cultivated meat and fish products, hoping to appeal to consumers concerned about the environmental impact of raising livestock for food.<\/p>\n

On June 8, California-based Good Meat became the first company to receive the USDA label approval.<\/p>\n

“The USDA’s approval of our label marks a major step forward towards our goal of creating a more humane and sustainable food system,\u201d said Dr. Uma Valeti, Upside’s CEO and founder, in a statement.<\/p>\n

Both Good and Upside are still awaiting a site inspection from USDA, the final step in the regulatory approval process before their cultivated chicken can go to market. <\/p>\n

Upside does not yet have a timeline for when its production facility in Emeryville, California, will be inspected, it said. <\/p>\n

Upside was the first company to receive a green light for its cultivated chicken from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last year. <\/p>\n

Cultivated meat is made from a small sample of livestock cells collected from living animals, which are then fed a nutrient mix and grown inside steel vats. <\/p>\n

The FDA and the USDA both play a role in the approval process for cultivated meat: the FDA assesses whether the product is safe for human consumption, and the USDA reviews the product’s label and conducts the facility inspection.<\/p>\n

Both Good and Upside plan to first roll out their cultivated chicken, if approved, at high-end restaurants where U.S. consumers are more likely to tolerate the product’s higher price point compared with conventional meat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
