The survey, conducted with market research consultancy Censuswide, surveyed the opinions of 251 American chefs and food industry professionals. The results found the following:

86% of chefs are interested in serving farm-raised meat or poultry, 22% say they are “very interested”
84% would consider replacing conventional meat with farmed meat on their menu if the prices were similar
77% would be willing to pay a premium for farmed meat, and two-thirds would be willing to pay 11-15% more

According to those interviewed, food safety, environmental concerns and customer needs were the main motivations for including artificially produced meat on their menus.
