KFC and it’s Lab Made Chicken
The Verge are reporting that KFC have teamed up with Moscow’s 3D Bioprinting Solutions with the end goal of producing the world’s first lab made chicken! Specifically chicken nuggets!
Moscow’s 3D Bioprinting Solutions are looking to develop an additive printing technique. Which will use chicken cells and plant material that will recreate the taste and texture of natural chicken. While at the same time keeping involvement to a minimum. Furthermore, to achieve the goal of creating lab printed chicken. KFC will provide bread, spices and other ingredients to match the restaurants signature flavour. So, when do you think KFC will achieve this? KFC are hoping to have a final nugget design completed and ready to test by Moscow in autumn of 2020!
Lab produced meat has numerous advantages. For one, it is more environmentally friendly as it doesn’t require as much resources. According to KFC, a study suggests it requires 100 times less farmland and even cuts greenhouse gas emissions by 25 times! There’s less chemicals involved too, which means there’s less harm to animals!
Bioprinted meat, much like KFC’s plant-based chicken, allows the chain to be available to a wider audience. The food chain is also more stable and KFC will deal with less shortages as a result!
