Interesting story, but one has to ask the question how safe is it for human consumption?
SCIENTISTS have grown a pork chop in a lab from stem cells and say it could offer an eco-friendly alternative to farming livestock.
The faux chop is made of 2cm long strips of meat and is said to have the texture of a scallop.
Mark Post, of Maastricht University in the Netherlands said cells to make meat could be replicated in vast numbers, The Sun reports.
He said: “If we took stem cells from one pig and multiplied it by a million, we’d need a million fewer pigs to get the same amount of meat.”
