They say the carrot cells are already grown for laboratory uses. Food scientists get up to weird stuff and they need standardized materials as basic building blocks. So there are already facilities that make this stuff and they bought it.
In my experience with undergrads, they probably heard “Oh wow, lab grown carrots are a thing and you can buy them!” and they bought them from a food science lab supply company that made them from pureed whole carrots, but they told the reporter it was lab grown.
My question is what uv polymer did they use in that carrot printer goop that is “food safe”? When I used MSLA printers, those resins were noxious and toxic AF. I used a full face ventilator with an organic carbon filter because I didn’t want to get poisoned by it.
