Artificial meat is an interesting concept, but with respect to long terms effects, would the increase in chemical intake effect/compromise our bodies? I believe that when the technology enhances and we acquire the ability to develop artificial organs, then this would be considered a class III medical device, since they have the potential to sustain life. With respect to artificial meat, I am not quite sure what are the standards for artificial meats, I know 21 cfr subchapter B discusses food for human consumption, but I am not quite sure how artificially developed food would be regulated.
