What You Need to Know
Cell-based meat production involves the use of cellular agriculture, where animal cells are grown in a nutrient-rich medium, often supplemented with growth factors and other nutrients. The process typically requires temperatures between 37°C and 39°C and can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
