Diners in some upmarket restaurants will soon be able to tuck into a laboratory-grown steak, thanks to an Israeli startup that seeks to tap into consumer concerns about health, the environment, and animal welfare. Israel's Aleph Farms claims to be the first company to have developed steak in a laboratory and is in talks with some high-end restaurants in the United States, Europe, and Asia to launch it on the market in 2021. It plans initially to offer minute steak developed from a small number of cells taken from a cow, avoiding the need to slaughter the animal in the process or use antibiotics which can be harmful to meat-eaters.
