Cell-based, cell-cultured, cell-cultivated, cultured, or cultivated. What is the best name for meat, poultry, and seafood made directly from the cells of animals?

ABSTRACT: To be sold in the United States, meat, poultry, and seafood products made from cultured cells must be labeled with a "common or usual name" to help consumers understand what they are purchasing. The terms "Cultured," "Cultivated," "Cell-Cultured," "Cell-Cultivated," "Cell-Based" and a control (without a common or usual name) were tested using an online experiment. Two regulatory criteria were assessed: that the term distinguishes the novel products from conventional products, and appropriately signals allergenicity. Three consumer acceptance criteria were assessed: that the term is seen as appropriate, does not disparage the novel or conventional products, nor elicit perceptions that the products are unsafe, unhealthy, or not nutritious. Each term was shown on packages of frozen Beef Filet
