Not kosher. It would be the same as using meat gelatin and saying it's parve because it's been processed. (looking at you, triangle-k)

@shekinahcancook Fair enough.

Pork is inherently unclean, every molecule, right down to its dna. No matter how small you slice it, it's still pork. Growing the cells in a lab doesn't make them "not pork." Slaughter is not the issue. There's no such thing as kosher pork slaughter. Pork is always treif no matter what you do to it. Hope this helps.

@shekinahcancook thanks.

This is a matter of rabbinical debate right now. The question is whether or not a product that comes from cells, but is not raised by grown is meat, and that's not so simple.

Lab grown meat does not have many properties of animal-ness, for example, ritual slaughter.

Thus one can argue that such meat is not only kosher, but parve.

@serge @shekinahcancook Fair enough. I think either way, it's going to take a lot to get me, and most people, to eat frankenfood, though.

The rabbis can debate all they want. In my professional opinion as a mashgiach and a kohenet, I would not allow this at my shul or my home kitchen. Your mileage may vary.
