The production of cultured meat might still seem like science fiction, particularly in Europe, where it is not yet authorised. However, the continent’s pets could be first in line to eat this kind of food. A Czech start-up has now gained EU registration for the use of lab-grown meat in food for cats and dogs.

You might not like the idea of eating meat grown in a lab, but would you agree to give your dog kibble made from this kind of meat?
