The US chain is ready to make nugget meat in a whole new way: starting from cells grown in the laboratory and without using animals. An ethical but also environmental change
Environmental, animal and ethical revolution – A different way of creating food that also winks at environmental and ethical issues. Alternative food, in fact, can also mean reduction of pollution and animal exploitation. In particular, it has been calculated that 3D printing of nuggets would reduce greenhouse gases by 25 times and would also lead to halving the energy consumption expected from traditional forms of farming. And he would avoid using animals.
Laboratory cells – But how will 3D chicken nuggets be produced? Starting from laboratory-grown chicken cells. KFC then plans to supply breading and spices to ensure that the flavor of the final product comes as close as possible to the “standard” one.
First tests in Moscow – The first croquettes will be tested in Moscow in the autumn and will eventually consider proposing this innovative way of producing meat elsewhere. The fast food chain, however, has already experimented with something similar by creating, for the American market, substitutes for meat of vegetable origin.
