The world has become increasingly more concerned about environmental sustainability, food security, and ethical sourcing, making lab-grown or cultivated meat a promising solution. 

Among the latest innovations in this space is lab-grown salmon, a product that replicates the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of traditional salmon, without the need to harvest a single fish from the ocean.

Unlike plant-based fish alternatives, like plant-based tuna and fishless fish fillets, which aim to mimic the flavour and texture of fish using vegetables and legumes, lab-grown salmon is biologically identical to the salmon you’d buy at the seafood counter.

In a significant milestone, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the consumption of lab-grown salmon, confirming that it is safe to eat and meets all necessary health standards. 

By addressing the ethical, environmental, and health concerns associated with traditional fishing and aquaculture, cultivated salmon offers a more sustainable and scalable alternative. … It’s a glimpse into a future where enjoying seafood no longer comes at the expense of the planet.
