Já imaginou comer um sushi feito através de um salmão cultivado com células fora do peixe?

Isso pode se tornar comum e natural se depender de uma startup americana, que quer ser a primeira empresa do mundo a fornecer carne de salmão “cultivada” em laboratório para ser servida em restaurantes japoneses

THE LAB-GROWN SALMON

It isn't legal to sell cell-cultured foods in the US.
That's because the FDA is still figuring out how to regulate foods that are made like this. It's unclear when the FDA will make a decision but it seems to help the global food insecurity.

The production of animal-sourced food from cell culture has just come out. A company in the US came up with an interesting idea for the world. A San Francisco-based cellular agriculture startup company has revealed the latest prototype of its cell-based salmon. 
The fish is made with real salmon cells that are grown in a brewery-like system in stainless steel tanks. However it’s not possible to buy it now because the company is not very big yet. 
A scaffold made from plant-based ingredients helps the cells organize into a recognizable fish fillet shape. The company says that it aims to protect wild salmon and the oceans and help solve global food insecurity.
Salmon is the second most consumed seafood after shrimp, and it’s the most consumed finfish. While demand for seafood is at an all-time high, wild fish continue to plummet, and salmon farms face warming coastal waters due to climate change. 
Fish are declining and there’s been a lot of movement toward alternative proteins. The lab-grown salmon will provide the same nutritional benefits as wild-caught fish. It’s without contaminants such as mercury, microplastics or antibiotics.
