Eh, it can go both ways. I would consider the term "clean meat" to refer to meat grown simply, meaning naturally, so quite opposite to your intention with "clean".

I understand what you're getting at, but the message seems less about describing the product in question and more about assigning a virtue to it. That can be great for marketing towards specific crowds, but I think we should aim for a factual, neutral term to describe it.

I recently got grossed out enough to give up sushi after watching a video of workers using tweezers to deworm the meat and learning that it's common in all sushi restaurants to have to do that.

Between that and having several friends overseas who ate "natural" pork and now have intramuscular larvae for life, I'd agree that lab grown meat almost certainly sounds a lot cleaner.

Maybe clean as in it comes from a source that didn’t have piss, guts, feces, and pathogens inside it.

Sure, that's another viable interpretation for "clean". But the GP was pretty clear about what they meant, and it wasn't this. All the more reason to find a term that represents it factually and clearly, without being an attempt at swaying people's opinions.
