UPSIDE will make its market debut with a whole-textured chicken product that is over 99% cultivated chicken cells.

With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granting approval to a cell-based – or cultivated – meat product, new foods are expected to hit store shelves soon.

 The 200,000-square-foot facility will have the capacity to produce 10,000 metric tons of cultivated meat. 

The FDA released a memo detailing the agency's review of the data and information provided by UPSIDE Foods to establish the safety of its cultivated chicken filet.
