Lab grown foie gras and chicken reviewed by UK regulators
Lab Grown Foie Gras and Chicken Undergo UK Safety Review
Cultivated versions of foie gras and chicken are undergoing safety assessment in the UK as regulators examine potential future approval of lab grown meat products.
According to reporting by AOL, the products are currently being reviewed by the Food Standards Agency as part of the UK’s regulatory process for novel foods.
The products are produced using cell cultivation techniques and in some cases 3D food printing technology to replicate the texture and structure of conventional meat.
Supporters of cultivated meat say the technology could offer environmental benefits and reduce reliance on livestock production. However, regulatory approval is required before the products can be sold commercially in the UK.
The safety assessment process will examine nutritional content, production methods and potential risks before any decision is made on market authorisation.
