Explore Research on Risk Assessment of Cultivated Food Products
The development and commercialization of cultivated meat is progressing at unprecedented speed, which requires that knowledge gaps relevant to its safety and risk to consumers be identified at a similar pace. The Risk Assessment of Cultivated Food Products portfolio aims to identify these gaps and address them in a neutral forum involving industry, academia, and government representatives.
The overall goal of this portfolio is to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the rapid development and commercialization of cultivated meat and other cellular agriculture products.
