    The proposal [prohibits] the use, sale, import and export of food and feed “from cell cultures or tissue derived from vertebrate animals”.

    Am I missing something, is it a translation issue, or did they just ban meat?

      That’s what you could argue, yes.

      Since you can’t get any “tissue” without deriving it from an animal.

      Which would be the funnier solution… Well if you scientists and farmers can’t get along, nobody gets meat! Good news everyone! You’re all vegetarians now!

      It’s a translation issue. “Derivanti” in Italian is translated as “derived”, but the Italian word implies a new type of tissue and the English word does not.
