Good-bye, Mystery Meat!. A new DNA chip will allow any meat product to be tested for the presence of any one of 32 species of animal. The application in school cafeterias alone should ensure widespread use.
But, shhh, this is evil biotech in use. Knowledge is wrong.

It can detect the presence of rat and human (Soylent Green, anyone?) but it still won’t help to determine the origin of mystery meat if it does not in fact include any meat. I suspect this is often the case.
