Meat culturing technology goes beyond laboratory research and materialises in the market. Nonetheless, this technology has raised concerns among Muslim consumers worldwide due to its medium, especially foetal bovine serum (FBS), which originates from blood. Thus, the aim of this research was to determine the halal status of cultured meat by detecting species-specific DNA of bovine serum as one of the media used during meat production. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was conducted by targeting mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II (COII) gene sequences, producing a 165 bp amplicon. The sequences of the primers used were Bovine-F, 5&prime:-CAT CAT AGC AAT TGC CAT AGT CC-3&prime: and Bovine-R, 5&prime:-GTA CTA GTA GTA TTA GAG CTA GAA TTA G-3&prime:. DNA extraction was conducted using a QIAGEN Blood and Tissue&trade: commercial kit. The presence study also included a literature review on the Istihalah (transformation) concept in order to determine the halal status of cultured meat. The results revealed that bovine DNA was detected in all samples tested using PCR analysis. Therefore, Istihalah tammah (perfect transformation) does not occur due to the ability of PCR analysis to detect bovine DNA in FBS and is prohibited according to Shariah law.
