( Natural News ) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently declared lab-grown meat from a California-based company safe for human consumption .
In a Nov. 16 press release , the regulator announced that it has granted artificial chicken products from Berkeley, California-based UPSIDE Foods the “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) designation. Formerly known as Memphis Meats, UPSIDE Foods makes cell-cultured chicken fillets by harvesting cells from live animals and growing them in stainless steel tanks.
“Before this food can enter the market, the facility in which it is made also needs to meet applicable U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and FDA requirements. In addition to the FDA’s requirements, including facility registration for the cell culture portion, the manufacturing establishment needs a grant of inspection from USDA-Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) for the harvest and post-harvest portions and the product itself requires a USDA mark of inspection,” the FDA stated.
According to the regulator, it had reviewed data from the company and “had no further questions at this time about the firm’s safety conclusion.”
“The world is experiencing a food revolution and [the FDA] is committed to supporting innovation in the food supply . We are already engaged in discussion with multiple firms about various types of products made from cultured animal cells, including those made from seafood cells.”
“We are thrilled at [the] FDA’s announcement,” said UPSIDE Foods Communications Director David Kay. “UPSIDE Foods is ushering in a new era in meat production with this ‘no questions’ letter, and this historic step paves the way for our path to market in the United States. Cultivated meat has never been closer to the U.S. market than it is today.”
UPSIDE Foods Vice President of Regulatory and Public Policy Eric Schulze, meanwhile, said : “Since our earliest days, our top priority has been […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
