The US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) recent approval for cultivated chicken from Upside Foods in the US on November 16 set a positive tone for the adoption of cultivated meat and other innovative food in global markets. One month after the FDA’s approval, another milestone was reached.
On December 22, the AgFood Future Center of Excellence (AGF) and the Agriculture Food Partnership (AFP) co-organized an online event where, for the first time, regulatory experts from two of the largest potential markets for meat innovation, the FDA and China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment (CFSA), conferred on the regulatory approval process and prospects for cultivated meat in these two major markets.
The event was supported and attended by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) and the China Meat Association (CMA), who are also major influencers in developing China’s protein innovation market, according to a press release from AGF.
