In Indiana, UPSIDE Foods served cultivated chicken sandwiches during the recent Indianapolis 500 as it called the state’s upcoming ban on such products “un-American.”

Indiana’s ban on cultivated meat sales is slated to begin July 1.

According to CultivatedX, UPSIDE Foods said in a social media post that it is “here to defend your right to choose delicious chicken grown without the kill. So we served cultivated chicken sandwiches at the hashtag Indy500 to make a point: banning safe, USDA-approved food is anti-free market and frankly, un-American.”
