An Israeli company says it has produced the world’s first steak “grown” in a laboratory. Researchers from Tel Aviv-based Aleph Farms say they successfully created the meat using methods that do not harm animals. The company claims its scientific invention has the “true texture and structure of beef muscle tissue steak.” Shulamit Levenberg is the co-founder and chief scientific officer of Aleph Farms. She considers the company’s product “clean meat.” She says this is because it is grown in a clean, controlled setting and does not require the killing of an animal. Some opponents of lab meat production have rejected the term “clean meat” and suggested that “synthetic meat” would be more exact. Many companies have attempted to create realistic meat replacements with mostly vegetable-based products. Others, like U.S.-based company Just, also have plans to produce beef grown inside a lab.
