Looks like only available in one restaurant for now, but it's a start.

"For one thing, cultivated meat is not vegan or vegetarian." -> I know some vegans who would disagree with that, on the grounds that no animal cruelty or slaughter is involved. I suspect there will be a fair bit of debate on this as cultivated meat becomes more widespread. I would guess just like we've already got "I'm a vegetarian who eats fish" we'll end up with "I'm a vegan who does/doesn't eat cultivated meat."

You might want to cross-post this to https://beehaw.org/c/food too.

I remember reading about cultivated meat using fetal bovine serum, so I’m wondering if Upside managed to take out a reliance on livestock for its process

There is no real way to scale production without eliminating fetal bovine serum.

People are posting sources saying that most companies have been serum free for a few years now.
