The national food standards body is assessing an application to sell luxury lab-grown meat products, while another company with a cultured lamb burger is waiting to see if customers bite.
Interestingly, the US conservatives have been attacking lab-grown meat lately. So expect similar attacks to start showing up here soon.
Personally I would love to have more alternatives. I enjoy trying out alternative protein sources, not for ideological reasons. I just enjoy flavours and textures. And if they happen to be better for the environment, well bonus!

I recall reading a few years ago that the National Farmers Fed were lobbying the Coalition govt to legislate the definition of meat. IIRC this was in response to plant based just substitutes, but they probably also had lab meat in mind as well. I can’t find source on this though.

That probably means that lab grown meat is a good thing with real commercial prospects then.
