The American KFC chain of restaurants, Kentucky, has announced that it will test this fall for meat produced using 3D printers.
The company said in a statement that it wants to invest in what is known as "the future restaurant", which will include "future meat", so that options of environmentally friendly meals will be presented.
The company pointed out that this does not mean that the poultry meat that you will provide will be vegetarian, as it will depend on cells from different meat, in addition to some vegetables, and it will present a new experience for those looking for an unconventional lifestyle.
These printers use synthetic animal protein cells or vegetable protein, which come in a similar flavor and flavor to meat and chicken products.
The chicken piece, which will be produced through specialized printers, will contain the exact same elements as the original products, but it will not cause harm to any of the birds and animals, unlike what is currently prevailing, as the supply chain will change, after it was from the farm to the restaurant, it will become from the printer to The restaurant.
KFC cooperates with a laboratory specialized in "bioprinting" that specializes in cells, as the taste will be similar to chicken, but it includes complex products of vegetables that will provide a rich and sufficient meal, and at the same time it will be healthy, not to mention its role in helping the environment.
Citing a study by the American Environmental Science and Technology Magazine that says it shows the benefits of meat production from cells, including reducing emissions and energy consumption compared to traditional production methods.
