Ban the Production and Sale of Lab-Grown Meat
We call on the UK Government to introduce legislation banning the production, sale, and importation of lab-grown (cell-cultured) meat for human consumption, following the precautionary approach already adopted by countries such as Italy.
We urge the Government to prohibit the commercial production, sale, and importation of lab-grown meat for human consumption in the UK in order to:
- Protect traditional livestock farming and rural economies
- Uphold high food safety, animal welfare, and transparency standards
- Apply the precautionary principle to novel food technologies
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
