Dutch Scientist Plans £200k Lab Burger

The scientist hoping to 'grow' a burger in his lab next year has revealed more details of his recipe.

Mark Post, a vascular biologist at the University of Maastricht, said he'll grow 3,000 thin strips of meat in a petri dish, then pack them together with some lab-grown fat.

But because 'cultured meat' contains no blood, the flesh will be pale, like a scallop.

Dr Post warned the finished product is likely to cost at least £200,000.

"The first one will be grown in an academic lab, by highly trained academic staff. It's handmade and time and labour intensive, that's why it's so expensive to produce," he said.   Read Here
