Cererea pentru alternative la carnea obişnuită este în creştere pe fondul îngrijorărilor consumatorilor cu privire la starea de sănătate, bunăstarea animalelor şi mediul înconjurător. Mai multe opţiuni de carne produsă din proteine pe bază de plante, promovate pentru prima dată de firmele Beyond Meat Inc şi Impossible Foods, sunt disponibile pe rafturile supermarketurilor şi în meniurile restaurantelor. Însă aşa-numita "carne curată", care este produsă din celule crescute în laborator, este încă într-un stadiu incipient. Potrivit companiei americane, carnea va fi vândută sub formă de nuggets de pui, urmând ca detaliile cu privire la lansarea produsului să fie anunţate la o dată ulterioară. Anterior însă firma a estimat că fiecare nugget va costa 50 de dolari.
