14 Jun 2018 --- Israeli start-up, Aleph Farms, is calling on the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to promote “clean meat” for its compelling safety advantages, such as being antibiotic-free and pathogen free. This request comes in response to the US Cattlemen’s Association’s (USCA) petition to the USDA to restrict the terms “beef” and “meat” only to slaughtered animal-based products.
