Lab-grown meat has many other names:
- Cultivated Meat: This term is increasingly favored as it accurately describes growing meat from animal cells in a controlled environment.
- Cell-Based Meat: This name emphasizes that the meat is derived from animal cells rather than whole animals, highlighting its scientific origins.
- Cultured Meat: Like cultivated meat, this term refers to meat produced through cellular agriculture techniques.
- Clean Meat: This term was popular among early advocates, suggesting a more ethical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional meat.
- Synthetic Meat: This name indicates that the product is artificially created, which can evoke mixed consumer reactions.
- Slaughter-Free Meat: This term appeals to ethical consumers concerned about animal welfare and the implications of traditional meat production.
