The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is seeking comment on an advance notice of proposed rulemaking regarding the labeling of meat and poultry products created using cultured cells from animals.
Organizations call on agency to support mandatory labeling of cell-based/cultured meat and poultry products and to solicit input on what that labeling should look like.
USDA Secretary Perdue and FDA Commissioner Gottlieb have released a joint statement on the regulation of cell-cultured food products from cell lines of livestock and poultry.
