No, we need more long-term studies to ensure safety

Lab grown meat can open roads to new technologies, constantly advancing society and making up for food shortages as the population expands. It should be clearly labeled when sold, however.

Lab grown meat could be a good alternative food option in the future but it needs to be further studied to ensure safety to public health and the environment.

Lab grown meat can protect the environment ONLY after we know long-term effects and everything lab grown is labeled.

The long term affects of various things like GMOs have not been fully tested. It is really important to protect the health of the public.

With so many deadly illnesses like cancer roaming around we STILL aren't 100% sure what causes these things because there are so many possibilities. So we should be more cautious and study more before just consuming things, because it's supposed to nourish our brains and bodies.

I understand that killing animals to eat them can reduce the amount we have in the country but to go in a lab and make fake meat with chemicals we don't know about is not right. If the county still wants to sell lab grown meat, they should say that on the packing to inform the people and not keep them blind-sided.

Nothing should be sent out without proper testing, Lab Grown Meat should be properly tested before being allowed to be sold and should be labelled as Lab Grown if it were to be sold.

Lab grown meat can open roads to new technologies, constantly advancing society and making up for food shortages as the population expands. It should be clearly labeled when sold, however. and there should be a great investment of affects and take years to even get into the market since it is an unknown then that will allow for public opinion to accept it. if it is safe to eat it would be a subtiution for what is the slaughter of animals

Lab grown meat could be a possibility if does not cause any side effects, is as nutritious as regular meat is, and the consumer knows the meat is lab grown.

I honestly feel like lab grown meat shouldn't even be a thing in any country whatsoever, its not safe for human consumption long term or short term. We deserve to eat real meat from real animals.

There is many instances of lab made products being found to have bad effects on our bodies so we shouldn't be selling a product to a whole population without more safety precautions being taken.

the meat that goers the fastest is cancer cells, so what is this meat made off. what are the longer term effects.

We need a lot of long-term studies on this new form of creating meat because of its untrustworthiness of people and the way it's made. It would be like trying to get everyone in the world to switch to electric cars all at once, even though research says electric car parts aren't doing that much better at protecting the environment than gas fueled cars. We also need to test this more because of the potential risk it could have on our body and what it could taste like, or the texture, or the cost it'll take to make something like that, or the amount of people that would distrust something like that.

Without long-term studies for data and statistics, we wouldn't know what we would be dealing with in order to ensure safety for our citizens.

What are you eating? Do you know? What are you feeding your children? Do you know how it will effect there development in the long term?

Lab grown meat was just created in 2013; this is not enough time to see the long-term effects of Lab Grown Meat on the body.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7020248/

"Although these are not yet known, we speculated on the potential health benefits and drawbacks of cultured meat."

This, coming from a 2020 scientific study on lab-grown meat, should not be enough evidence for the FDA to call lab-grown meat safe.

"On the other hand, with this high level of cell multiplication, some dysregulation is likely as happens in cancer cells. Likewise, the control of its nutritional composition is still unclear, especially for micronutrients and iron."

Although lab grown meat has passed initial regulatory safety assessments, many scientists argue that long-term studies are still necessary. Because it is a novel food produced using growth media, bioreactors, and engineered cell lines, there is limited data on long-term human consumption. Research highlights potential concerns including chemical residues, contamination risks during large-scale production, and the absence of historical dietary exposure, all of which justify continued study before widespread adoption. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0924224423002091?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Anything lab related involving food and mass production should be studied on it's safety until we're positive its safe. Since anything as such would obviously be dangerous without testing or enough research.

A joint report by the FAO and WHO identified 53 potential food safety hazards associated with cultured meat, including the potential for cancer-like cell proliferation and issues with the immune system.

Lab Grown Meat is still in development, you don't want to ingest something that has only recently been researched. Lab Grown Meat could have detrimental side effects. Although I believe that looking for an alternative to the violent and inhumane meat industry is needed, there needs to be great caution; because, we are putting the lives of millions at stake.

If there are not long-term studies then it will be taken advantage of. Most companies won´t care about whats in it but how much they can get it for and how cheap it can be made.

We need to analyze the product completely and look for any life threatening things inside the product.

Well, how can we be sure that the meat is entirely safe? I was never taught about such things so I could be wrong. Last I checked, I preferred being able to actually eat what I make without the fear of my food being contaminated with god knows what.

We haven’t been super exposed to lab grown meat. We don’t have much research or evidence on it being good for you and your body.

The government should approve of food if it meets the standards and safety before allowing or encouraging the public to try it as it can become dangerous

If even one person has died from eating this, imagine if everyone started eating this and people died even more from this.

There needs to be a way to make what we consume healthy, no need to make it something fake. We could find other things to use to supply more real food.

Lab grown meat is a new thing, of course it would help plenty of people and could possibly be a good source of food. But it’s NEW, you need studies on the effect it has on a person after a long time to make sure it’s safe.

There have been zero long term studies in regardless to the long term health effects of lab grown meat. This could very well be another one of the many things that we are told is not bad for us, but turns out to be terrible for our bodies. and causes lifelong health affects.

No, we need more long-term studies to ensure safety. Due to the fact that it isn't safe if someone tampers with the meat, and people eat bad meat that may end up spreading a disease. In the end we need more studies to ensure the safety of eating lab produced meat, and I will say this again. Actual meat is healthier and we just need to pay farmers more in order for people to start farms and raise cows, chickens, etc. To be able to not rely on technology to make food from DNA.

we should not be ingesting something without doing proper resource into are body's also it is manmade not from the ground or the earth or from a cattle it is processed and fake and who knows what kind of chemicals are put into it to be able to be digested but there more than likely not good for you.

I think we need more studies, because I couldn't trust lab-grown meat if its not natural like a chicken from a farm then being grown in a lab.

Lab grown meat was created only 13 years ago in 2013. This doesn’t give enough time for us to test its effects long-term, specially taking into account long-term testing didn’t start right away. This plus the power it gives corporations to not only regulate prices but also to cut corners in the future could create a dangerous future where we eat poison disguised as food in the name of affordability.

If we start growing meat in labs without guaranteeing that it is 100 percent safe, people can be in harm and would increase spending in Medicare

Multiple microplastics have been found in lab grown meet and microplastics have been found in newborn babies lungs and overall decrease fertility rates.

Its the same thing as if we were to starts making lab grown vegetables and fruit, people want to know if their food is natural or artificially grown.

Lab grown meat could be potentially poisonous, mutative, and even just over all dangerous, and is a new technology.

We need to ensure the cleanliness of the lab, the hands of the people who grow it, and the mental state of the person growing it.

Companies will be the ones producing these goods and will be the ones to actually know all the things that go into them.

I don't want people to eat unnatural meat, let alone unsafe meat. We do health inspections on the REAL meat we purchase today, and I would expect the same precautions taken when handling this weird lab-grown meat.

Overall, due to the novel nature of lab-cultured "meat," the lack of transparency from the companies involved, and the myriad potential health risks to consumers, rigorous regulation of this product is vitally important.

its always wise, to take something new with causion, exapacailly thats man made, as consumption, for we have seen what a couple of man mad foods that have side effects.

Lab grown meat is still actively being studied and shouldn't be accessible to the public if no one knows the long term side effects.

It's unknown whether lab-grown meat poses more risks or fewer safety concerns than traditional meat. The United Nations (UN) World Health Organization (WHO) says there may be some concerns with microbial contamination and allergens. Keep in mind that conventional meat also carries these risks. -cdc

accoording to this site, genetically modified soy leghemoglobin (slh) is used to mmimic the meat taste, which could be harmful.

Lab-grown meat is not a healthy alternative that we should eat, and if we mandate it as well, it will become disastrous, since people are likely only pushing it for an agenda for progress, and so far, there is no conclusive data on the long-term health effects.

I mean do you want to possibly get cancer or some other terrible health concern from eating strange meat?

I have little trust in the FDA as the US has been letting ingrediants in food for years that have been banned in other countries. Essentially, they have willingly been poisoning people slowly. They will continue to do the same with any new foods regardless if it's safe or not, however, I think more studies should be done so that the consumer can make an informed choice as it ultimately falls on the consumer to do so within the US.

Artificial proteins and carbohydrates have been shown, every time, to decrease the health of anyone who ingests them.

Lab grown meat could carry things such as Cancer and we have NO idea on how It will compare to real meat.

The gooogle AI review says "Long-term studies on lab-grown (cultivated) meat are limited due to its recent emergence as a consumer product."

It needs more testing since its lacks the diet and a few other things compared to non lab grown meat also its not cheap and takes more energy to make.

I think this can make people sick and also develop weird body habits which can harm their immune system.

Like people that have beef farms are going to go out of business because the lab will be able to get the meat faster than beef farmers because they have to wait till the steer is ready to be slaughtered.

Long-term studies would add more of a buffer to ensure that there are no specific disease causing bacteria that is unknown as of this current stand on the creation of the meat.

Lab-grown meat seems sketchy based on how it is made, and how eerily similar it tastes to the actual thing.

we are always finding new things so it is not hard to imagen what we will find in the meat that is bad for us.

There was an episode of Spongebob where lab grown patties almost turned the whole town into zombies. There was another one where patties made on a conveyor belt were just spray painted garbage.

There aren't enough studies to show how the human body will be able to digest lab grown meat, if it's safe, contains any nutrients, is susceptible to bacterial growth, until more information is discovered we cant confirm the safety of consumption.
