Attitudes toward artificial meat in Arab countries.

In development for almost 20 years, artificial meat (also known as "cell-based meat," "cell-cultured meat," "cultured meat," "cultivated meat," "in vitro meat" and "lab-grown meat") is the most striking example of cellular agriculture. This research aims to study Arab consumers' attitudes toward artificial meat, which is a topic of great interest to scientists and the media. An online survey was conducted with 1025 participants revealed that 17% consider artificial meat to be promising and acceptable.

Front-of-package protein labels are frequently added to breakfast cereals, aimed at increasing purchases by consumers who believe they would benefit from eating more protein. However, the overall nutritional compositions of such products are often not significantly better than similar products without protein labels, and may contain more sugar, sodium, and calories to improve taste. We conducted an online survey with 1022 US adults to examine consumer perceptions of two cereals (Special K Original and Special K Protein).

Cell-based, cell-cultured, cell-cultivated, cultured, or cultivated. What is the best name for meat, poultry, and seafood made directly from the cells of animals?

To be sold in the United States, meat, poultry, and seafood products made from cultured cells must be labeled with a "common or usual name" to help consumers understand what they are purchasing. The terms "Cultured," "Cultivated," "Cell-Cultured," "Cell-Cultivated," "Cell-Based" and a control (without a common or usual name) were tested using an online experiment. Two regulatory criteria were assessed: that the term distinguishes the novel products from conventional products, and appropriately signals allergenicity.
