KFC is planning to sell the “meat of the future” by using 3D printing technology to create the world’s first laboratory-produced chicken nuggets.

The fast-food chain announced a partnership with 3D Bioprinting Solutions to “reproduce the taste and texture of chicken meat almost without involving animals in the process”.

Using chicken cells and plant material, 3D Bioprinting Solutions is working on a final product that is expected to be unveiled in Russia later this year.

“Crafted meat products are the next step in the development of our ‘restaurant of the future’ concept,” said General Manager of KFC Russia Raisa Polyakova.
