Clean meat is a term coined by The Good Food Institute representing meat products made using cellular agriculture and tissue engineering techniques. Other terms for clean meat include: cultured meat, in-vitro meat, and synthetic meat.
The term "clean meat" was born out of two surveys done by The Good Food Institute testing the consumer appeal of different terms for cellular agricultural meat products. Over 4,300 people were surveyed on their willingness to buy meat products made via cellular agriculturecellular agriculture based on the product name. Beef and chicken made through cellular agriculture were the two meats tested. All information regarding what the product actually is stayed the same for each experimental term. The terms used in the surveys representing cellular agricultural meat products were "meat 2.0", "cultured meat", "pure meat", "safe meat", and "clean meat".
