Ban the Production and Sale of Lab-Grown Meat

Petition Details

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.

Additional Information

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
