BERKELEY, Calif., July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, cultivated meat was officially banned in Florida. Days before this ban took effect, UPSIDE Foods, the leading cultivated meat company, hosted a "Freedom of Food" pop-up event on The Annex rooftop in Miami on June 27. The event celebrated and advocated for food freedom and innovation that can help build a better future. It also marked the first time cultivated meat was available for the public to taste free of charge.
加利福尼亚州伯克利,2024年7月1日/新华社/——今天,非传统肉类在佛罗里达州被正式禁止。在禁令生效的几天前,领先的非传统肉类公司UPSIDE Foods在6月27日在迈阿密The Annex屋顶举办了一场名为"自由食品"的流动活动。这次活动庆祝和倡导食品自由和创新,以此帮助建立更美好的未来。此外,这也是非传统肉类首次免费供公众品尝。
At UPSIDE Foods' "Freedom of Food" pop-up, guests enjoyed delicious cultivated chicken prepared and served by renowned Miami chef, restaurateur, and TV personality Mika Leon. Chef Mika Leon crafted delicious tostadas featuring UPSIDE cultivated chicken, prepared a la plancha con sazón, garnished with avocado, chipotle crema, beet sprouts, and fresh lime zest. This culinary experience was complemented by drinks from Miami mixologist Gio Gutierrez.
在UPSIDE Foods的"自由食品"流动活动上,客人们品尝了由著名的迈阿密厨师、餐馆老板和电视名人Mika Leon烹制和提供的美味培育鸡肉。Mika Leon厨师制作了美味的托斯塔,配以UPSIDE培育鸡肉,用煎铁锅烹饪,配以鳄梨、辣椒味奶油、甜菜芽和新鲜青柠皮。这次烹饪体验与迈阿密鸡尾酒调制师Gio Gutierrez提供的饮品相得益彰。
"We believe that cultivated meat is essential for the future of food, and people should have the right to choose what they eat," said Dr. Uma Valeti, CEO and Founder of UPSIDE Foods. "The purpose of this event was to give Floridians a taste of cultivated meat – something the state is unfortunately preventing them from enjoying and benefiting from, both in terms of innovation and economics. Despite Florida's ban, events like this highlight the increasing interest in cultivated meat and its crucial role in shaping a more sustainable future of food."
"我们认为,非传统肉类对未来的食品至关重要,人们应该有权选择他们想吃的东西,"UPSIDE Foods首席执行官和创始人Dr. Uma Valeti表示"。这次活动的目的是让佛罗里达人品尝非传统肉类,但不幸的是佛罗里达州正在阻止他们享受并从中获益,无论是在创新还是在经济方面。尽管佛罗里达州禁令,这样的活动凸显了人们对非传统肉类越来越感兴趣以及其在塑造更可持续的未来食品方面的关键作用。"
Cultivated meat, grown directly from animal cells, has the potential to help meet the world's growing demand for meat in a way that's more safe, humane and sustainable than conventional methods. However, on May 1, 2024, Governor DeSantis signed Senate Bill 1084 into law, criminalizing the production and sale of cultivated meat in Florida – a move that disregards food safety experts, limits consumer choice, stifles American innovation, and hampers Florida's ability to participate in this burgeoning industry.
非传统肉类直接从动物细胞培育而来,具有更安全、更人道、更可持续的优势,可以有助于满足全球越来越大的肉类需求。然而,在2024年5月1日,佛罗里达州州长DeSantis签署的1084号参议院法案将非传统肉类的生产和销售罪化——这一行动忽视了食品安全专家,限制了消费者的选择,阻碍了美国的创新并阻碍了佛罗里达参与这个蓬勃发展的行业的能力。
Having had the opportunity to work with UPSIDE's cultivated chicken, I can attest that their products are delicious," said Chef Mika Leon. "From appearance to aroma and taste, their products provide the same experience you'd expect from chicken. As a chef, I love the idea of preserving the foods we love while using innovation to figure out ways to create a better future of food."
厨师Mika Leon表示:"有机会品尝UPSIDE制作出的熟食我的确感到非常美味。从外观到香气和味道,他们的产品提供了与鸡肉相同的体验。作为一名厨师,我喜欢保留我们喜爱的食物的想法,同时使用创新的方法来创造更美好的未来食品。"
The event attracted a diverse crowd, including Florida residents, families, professionals, food enthusiasts, and curious consumers. Over 100 guests gathered to get a taste of cultivated meat and engage in discussions about the future of food.
此次活动吸引了各行各业的人群,包括佛罗里达居民、家庭、专业人士、美食爱好者和好奇消费者。超过100位客人们齐聚一堂品尝了非传统肉类并参与了关于未来食品的讨论。
