W. K. Hallman, W. K. H. Ii, et al.

This study by William K. Hallman, William K. Hallman II, and Eileen E. Hallman explores the best labels for cell-based meat, poultry, and seafood in the US market. The research reveals that terms like 'Cell-Cultured' resonate well with consumers and can help distinguish these innovative products from traditional ones.

Abstract
This study investigates the optimal labeling for cell-based meat, poultry, and seafood products entering the US market. An online experiment assessed consumer perceptions of six terms – 'Cultured,' 'Cultivated,' 'Cell-Cultured,' 'Cell-Cultivated,' 'Cell-Based,' and a control (no term). The study found that "Cell-Cultured," "Cell-Cultivated," and "Cell-Based" effectively distinguished the novel products from conventional ones, conveying allergenicity while not significantly impacting other consumer perceptions. "Cell-Cultured" showed slightly better consumer acceptance, suggesting its adoption as a universal label.
