Rome, Paris and Vienna on Wednesday
warned the EU of the risks posed by synthetic meat ahead of a
farm ministers' meeting in Brussels Tuesday.
Lab grown meat, they said in a joint note backed by nine other
countries, is "a threat to genuine methods of food production
that are at the centre of the European agricultural model".
Italy, France and Austria warned of the risks of "new practices
that include the production of meat with stem cell technology,
which requires tissue from live animals.
"The development of this production of lab grown food raises
many questions that must be discussed in depth".
