The debate over what to call lab-produced or cell-based meat—and how it should be labeled once it comes to market—has been relatively quiet in recent months.
But Danielle Beck with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says it’s likely to heat up again in 2021.
“We anticipate that USDA will be moving forward after the first of the year, doing an Advance Notice for Proposed Rulemaking on cell-culture nomenclature for meat and poultry products that they have oversight for,” Beck says.
