Cloned Meat Is Coming To Stores Near You
At Super Boost Nutra, we care about what goes into your body — and what’s happening in the food system that could affect your long-term health.
Recently, it’s been revealed that meat from cloned animals could soon be sold in grocery stores — without any labeling to tell you. Many people are just hearing about this for the first time, and we think you deserve the facts.
🧬 What Is Cloned Meat?
Animal cloning in this context typically means taking an adult animal’s cell, using a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) to create an embryo genetically identical to the donor, implanting it in a surrogate mother, and letting it grow.
The offspring of cloned animals (produced via normal sexual reproduction) are expected to be what enters the food supply most — and regulators say these progeny are essentially the same as conventional animals.
Important clarification: This is not the same as lab-grown or cell-cultured meat (where muscle cells are grown in a bioreactor). Though they are sometimes mistaken for such, the processes differ.
🩺 What Regulators And Researchers Say
• The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in its risk assessment concluded that meat and milk from cattle, swine, and goat clones—and their offspring—poses no more risk than products from conventionally bred animals.
• A peer-reviewed survey concluded: “no evidence that meat and milk derived from cloned animals or their progeny pose a risk … in terms of genotoxicity, adverse reproductive effects, or allergic reactions.”
• A 14-week feeding trial in rats on meat from cloned cattle found no significant differences compared to non-cloned animal meat: growth, health, blood parameters, histology were the same.
• The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) stated that, based on available data, cloned-animal products are “probably safe” but cautioned the data is limited.
⚠️ The Big Concerns
Here’s what health-conscious consumers are worried about:
- No Labels: You might not know if the meat you’re buying came from a cloned animal or its offspring. Why don't regulators want us to know?
- Ethics: Many cloning attempts fail or cause animal suffering.
- Transparency: Without labeling, consumers lose their right to choose.
- Genetic Risks: Relying on clones could reduce genetic diversity in farms, possibly making animals more prone to disease.
🧬 Who’s Behind The Cloned & Cultured Meat Movement?
The push to bring cloned and lab-grown meats into the food supply isn’t coming from small independent farmers — it’s being driven by some of the biggest names in tech, food, and biotechnology. Here’s a look at who’s leading the charge and where the money is coming from:
One of the earliest companies in this space is Mosa Meat, based in the Netherlands. They made headlines in 2013 for creating the world’s first lab-grown beef burger. Since then, Mosa Meat has received major funding from M Ventures, the venture capital arm of Merck KGaA — a global pharmaceutical and biotech giant. This shows how strongly the biotech and pharma industries are positioning themselves inside the future of food.
In the U.S., Memphis Meats, now rebranded as Upside Foods, is another major player. Their focus is on growing real meat from animal cells — including chicken, duck, and beef — without raising or slaughtering animals. Their investor list reads like a “who’s who” of powerful backers: Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and major food corporations like Tyson Foods and Cargill, two of the world’s biggest meat suppliers.
In Asia, Avant Meats from Hong Kong and Singapore has focused on cultivating fish and seafood from cells. The World Economic Forum recognized Avant as one of its official “Technology Pioneers,” giving it global visibility and influence in shaping food policy. The involvement of the WEF shows that this technology has the attention and support of some of the world’s most powerful policy networks.
Another growing name in the space is CULT Food Science, a Canadian investment company that finances a portfolio of startups in the lab-grown and cellular agriculture sectors. Rather than producing meat directly, they fund multiple smaller biotech ventures, showing how financial networks are forming around this shift.
⚠️ Why This Matters for You
Cloned and cultured meats are being promoted as the next big solution for “sustainable food.” But the more you look at who’s backing this movement, the more important it becomes to ask why.
Major investors include Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and pharmaceutical companies. These are powerful organizations that already have huge influence over global health, politics, media, and technology — and not everyone agrees that their track record puts public well-being ahead of profit or control.
Many people are asking:
- Why are the same groups involved in global health policy now steering the future of our food?
- If these technologies are truly safe and beneficial, why is there so little open discussion or labeling transparency?
- And most importantly — do these powerful investors have our best interests in mind, or are they shaping the food system to serve their own interests?
🌿 How To Avoid Cloned Meat?
If you value knowing where your food comes from:
- Buy from trusted local farms or brands that clearly state their sourcing practices.
- Ask questions — your butcher or grocery store should be able to tell you where their meat comes from.
- Support labeling laws and transparency efforts.
- Eat more whole, natural foods — including plant-based proteins and clean supplements that help fill nutrition gaps.
- Avoid the cheap "value" meats at the grocery store.
