First man-made lab burger will be grown in a year, says scientist

THE first lab-grown burger will be produced in a year – at a cost of £213,000.

Scientists believe “cultured meat” grown in a dish could feed the world, once they get the recipe right.

It is grown from stem cells of slaughtered animal waste, which become tasteless white strips that will be packed to form a “burger”.

Biologist Mark Post, from Maastricht University in the Netherlands, said: “It’s time and labour intensive, that’s why it’s so expensive. The meat hasn’t a taste yet, so that will need to be worked on.”
