The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has launched a public consultation to seek feedback on the proposed guidelines for simulated meat and simulated poultry products. The consultation opened for a 30-day period from November 3, 2020 and closes on December 3, 2020.
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.
