Israel's Health Ministry has granted approval for the sale of lab-grown beef, making Israel the first country to do so. The approval allows the marketing of cultivated beef, grown from cow cells, and is seen as a significant breakthrough in the alternative protein industry. The process involves isolating cells responsible for tissue growth and reproducing growing conditions in a brewery-style tank. Aleph Farms, an Israeli food-tech start-up, has obtained the first approval of its kind from the Health Ministry. The product is expected to be priced similar to premium beef, and a marketing strategy is being developed to promote cultured meat due to increasing demand for alternative food sources.
