Believer Meats announced USDA approval of its North Carolina cultivated‑chicken facility and product labeling, clearing the way for commercial production and U.S. sales as well as exports. The company said both FDA and USDA regulatory milestones are now behind it, enabling the first large‑scale cultivated meat manufacturing run in the U.S. The regulatory signoffs cover facility operations and product labeling requirements for cultivated meat, a nascent sector that combines cell culture and food‑safety oversight. Believer emphasized its facility scale and compliance with USDA standards as key enablers for market entry. This approval represents a critical commercialization hurdle for cellular agriculture, validating regulatory pathways for scale and potentially accelerating investor and supply‑chain commitments in cultivated proteins.
