Lab-grown burger: Live updates as the world's first test-tube patty is served up

By Scott 0

We hope you're feeling hungry because we certainly are and can't wait for the world's first test-tube burger to be served up shortly.

The 5oz (142g) patty, which cost £250,000 to produce, will be dished up by its creator before an invited audience before it's eaten in London.

Scientist-turned-chef Professor Mark Post produced the burger from 20,000 tiny strips of meat grown from cow stem cells.

He believes it could herald a food revolution, with artificial meat products appearing in supermarkets in as little as 10 years.

We'll be bringing you all the latest news from the press conference as it happens.
