The latest of more than 1.3 million products that the US-based Orthodox Union certifies as kosher is lab-grown “chicken,” which is produced by the Tel Aviv-based startup, SuperMeat. It is the first lab-grown “meat” product that the nonprofit kosher agency is certifying.
“The OU is pleased to provide certification to a product that meets kosher standards, while also leading innovation in food technology,” stated Rabbi Menachem Genack, CEO of OU Kosher, in a press release.
