USDA-FSIS Looks for Feedback on Labeling of Meat and Poultry Products Made Using Cultured Cells From Animals
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) in order to receive comments and information regarding the labeling of meat and poultry products made using cultured cells from animals under FSIS jurisdiction. FSIS plans on using these comments to help with future regulatory requirements for the labeling of such food products.
In March 2019, USDA and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced an agreement to collaborate in overseeing the production of human food products made using animal cell culture technology and derived from the cells of livestock and poultry to ensure that such products brought to market are safe, unadulterated, and truthfully labeled.
