🚀 Exciting News for Enantis FoodTech! 🚀 We are thrilled to announce that Enantis has received a letter from the European Commission's Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (Santé) on the status of our FGF2-STAB® protein in the cultured meat industry. Key Highlights: Processing Aid: Our FGF2-STAB® protein is classified as a processing aid under Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. This confirms that while there may be technically unavoidable residues, they pose no health risk. This milestone underscores the crucial role our protein plays in improving the efficiency and quality of cultured meat production. Non-GMO: Our FGF2-STAB® protein is not considered a GMO. The only applicable status would be “produced with” GMO which is not relevant for processing aids. FGF2-STAB® can be used in cultured meat products across the European market without the regulatory challenges associated with GMOs, as per Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. This achievement highlights our commitment to innovative protein engineering that meets regulatory standards and supports the rapidly growing cultured meat industry. We are proud to contribute to sustainable and forward-thinking food solutions in Europe. A big thank you to our dedicated team and partners for making this possible.

The cultivated #meatindustry is progressing toward commercialization as #foodinnovators worldwide gain regulatory approval for #cellbased products. However, one of the main challenges is the cost of serum, a crucial component of #cultivatedmeat. Researchers are using photosynthetic microorganisms to create a self-purifying, nutrient-circulating system for cultured meat. The Good Food Institute #foodnews Reported by Gaynor Selby.

🌱 Exciting news from Israel! 🇮🇱 The recent approval of plant-based meat marks a groundbreaking moment in food technology and kosher laws. 🍔🔬 My brother, Joel Kenigsberg, shares his insightful views on the kashrut aspects of this innovation in the Jerusalem Post. A fascinating read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, tradition, and dietary laws. 📜✨ https://lnkd.in/d4hF7fwG #Innovation #Kosher #PlantBasedMeat #IsraeliTech 💡🥩👨🔬📚

📝 Takeaways from The Good Food Institute APAC's webinar on recent cultivated meat regulatory progress in APAC High-income APAC nations like Singapore, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand are poised to be major markets for the cultivated meat industry due to their economic status and openness to new food technologies. In Australia, the application fee for a novel food application is ~A$200,000, posing a significant barrier to innovation, especially for startups. In South Korea, the regulatory approval process could take ~270 working days (~13-14 months). The cost for submission is US$30,000. South Korea has conducted several studies to gauge public perception and willingness to try cultivated meat. However, there is a lack of such studies in Australia. MUIS (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura) suggested that labelling cultivated meat as an "alternative protein source" rather than just "meat" might improve its acceptance among halal consumers. This could differentiate it from traditional meat and better align with cultural and religious perceptions. There is an opportunity for regulatory bodies across the APAC region to harmonise their approval processes. This could streamline market entry, reduce redundancy, and help companies looking to expand across borders.

SAFE is pleased to represent European consumers at the 31st meeting of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Stakeholder Discussion Group on Emerging Risks (StaDG-ER). Micro and #nanoplastics can be a vehicle for the spread of potential hazards in the food chain. New evidence on the presence of micro and nanoplastics in compost and their spread through mulching films concerns us. SAFE requests that the European Commission and EFSA take this danger seriously, especially in light of the Green Deal goals.

Big news today coming out of Israel. The recent regulatory approval for a non-chicken lab-grown meat product in a specific nation represents a crucial juncture for the entire industry. It marks a significant departure from the earlier precedent set by approvals limited to poultry, demonstrating the viability and regulatory feasibility of diverse lab-grown meat products. While the long-term impact of this specific approval remains to be seen, its immediate implications are undeniably positive. It paves the way for broader acceptance of lab-grown meat as a viable and sustainable alternative protein source, opening doors for wider market penetration and potential future diversification of available products. This is a significant step forward for the industry, and its progress warrants close observation and continued dialogue amongst stakeholders. click below to learn more on Green Queen Media.

Pivotal milestone for EIT Food Accelerator Network alumnus GOURMEY and the cultivated foods ecosystem. We are delighted to announce that GOURMEY has requested market approval in five regions, filing applications with the US FDA, Singapore Food Agency, UK Food Standards Agency, Swiss Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office FSVO, and the European Commission. This makes GOURMEY, France's pioneering cultivated meat company, the first to apply for EU market access for “lab grown” meat. The French startup creates sustainable cultivated meat delights for an uncompromising and conscious generation. "We believe in a world where spectacle and succulence share a table with sustainability and a positive impact. It’s not about replacing anything, but it’s actually about complementing the current offering. There’s a lot of polarisation. We need to have a science-based conversation and public dialogue, nothing that is too ideologically driven. These types of food will be part of the diets of the next years and as a European invention, with several European champions.” Nicolas Morin-Forest, CEO of GOURMEY Congratulations to Nicolas Morin-Forest, Victor SAYOUS, Hannah Lester, Brian Chun, Nadine Bongaerts-Duportet, Ph.D., the entire GOURMEY team and everyone involved. #foodsystemtransformation #agrifoodtechinnovation #startupacceleration

💡 VITAL MEAT, a FEASTS project partner is one of the first cultivated meat companies and one of the four founding members of Cellular Agriculture Europe. Based in France, its mission is to provide delicious cultured chicken with the promise of nutrition, sustainability, and ethics at an affordable price. 👥 Focused mainly on B2B activities, the company aims to sell its Vital chicken to food companies who will use it as a source of tasty protein to create alt-meat recipes. 🌱 Vital Meat’s vision is for cultured meat to become a sustainable solution to address the global protein gap. After a first regulatory submission in Singapore where commercialization is expected this year, new opportunities are opening up following the filing of the novel food dossier in the UK. 🔬 In the FEASTS consortium, Vital Meat will collect data on key parameters from several bioreactor runs for a prospective Life Cycle Analysis and work on the scalability and efficiency of the process. It will also contribute to organizing a consumer panel. 💡 FEASTS together with Vital Meat and 33 other partners from across Europe are driving responsible and sustainable food innovation, researching the future of ethical protein solutions. #proteindiversification #culturedmeat ##sustainability #foodsystem

Hot topic alert: cellular food 🍽️🔬 We are continuing to learn more about how emerging cellular food technology is being regulated around the world, and some of the debate around how products will be regulated as they hit the market. The Good Food Institute highlights the growing momentum for cultivated meat and the regulatory efforts underway worldwide. For example: 🇸🇬 Singapore has made headlines as the first country to approve lab-grown chicken for sale, setting a precedent for the industry 🐔 🌍️ Additionally, the FAO UN and WHO have outlined food safety considerations and existing regulatory frameworks for cell-based foods 📋 🇺🇸 In the U.S., the USDA and FDA have established a joint framework for overseeing cultured animal cell products 🧫 With curiosity about cellular food on the rise, it's interesting to watch these developments unfold!
