Bypass the farm, soon enough it seems you'll be enjoying a steak straight from the lab to your plate.

The FDA has approved lab-grown meat fir the first time, ever.


According to Mashed, the FDA approved UPSIDE Foods' request to grow meat from cells. According to the FDA, it stated that workers "have no further questions at this time about the firm's safety conclusion."

UPSIDE Foods is the first cultivated meat company in the world and was founded in 2015, according to its website. The company's goal is aimed at "cultivating new foods to serve audiences around the world."

Though it has the FDA's approval, UPSIDE Foods'  production facilities still need inspection by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) before it sells its food products, which then have to be checked for quality.
