- KFC and Moscow-based 3D Bioprinting Solutions are making ‘meat of the future’
- Scientists are taking cell samples from chickens and multiplying them in the lab
- A resulting paste is 3D-printed into cubes and covered with 11 herbs and spices
- Fast food giant is estimated to slaughter 1 billion chickens for its meat every year
KFC is 3D-printing chicken meat using ‘animal flesh cells’ at a Russian research lab to provide customers with more ethically-sourced meat.
The fast food giant is working with Moscow-based company 3D Bioprinting Solutions as part of its ‘meat of the future’ concept.
The finger lickin’ bioprinting tech method uses chicken cells and plant material to reproduce the taste and texture of chicken meat, although it still uses chicken flesh.
