ABSTRACT

Recently the US allowed the commercial use of cell-generated meat which is a great way to use artificial intelligence in a step towards social change. This method involves taking a sample of muscle cells and later multiplying it to develop into a full tissue. This innovation curbs the ill impacts of the meat industry and its effect on our ecosystem. Apart from it being environment friendly it also ensures proper levels of hygiene and safety. Based on the National Family Health Survey conducted in 2016, nearly 75% of the Indian population consumes meat in some form. As of 2023, India is the most populous country and to meet the demands of such a growing population this method would be the step going forward. Thus, to ensure the quality and safe production of cell-generated meat, well-researched and solid guidelines need to be set in place. In order to do this research, data was taken from credible sources such as the Food and Drug Administration (the United States government), research articles from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, and so on. We looked into the regulations in different countries and the supporting regulations the Food Safety and Standards Regulations, 2016 has. By the end of this research paper, discussions and recommendations are made as to what India can do in addition, to welcome a successful change in how the Meat and Poultry sector functions and produces using this innovative and revolutionary method of Artificial Intelligence aided lab/cell generated meat.
