Cell-based Meat: Navigating the Safety and Regulatory Landscape - On-Demand Webcast

Presentation Icon
This webcast is organized by the Quality Assurance Division

This webcast will provide a deeper exploration of the regulatory and safety aspects of cell-based meat. Provides a valuable opportunity for participants to engage with industry and regulatory experts in the field.

Cell-based (or cultured meat) is animal meat grown by growing and harvesting cells directly rather than via rearing and slaughtering an animal. Essentially muscle, fat, and other cell types, collectively called the connective tissue, are grown in controlled, sterile environments outside of the body of an animal, resulting in a product that ideally replicates the sensory and nutritional profile of meat.
Learning objectives:
1) Gain an understanding of fundamental knowledge of cell-based /cultured meat 
2) Be able to identify methods and technologies used to make cell-based meat and potential food safety hazards to be considered
3) Learn about the regulatory challenges that will be faced by companies wanting to bring these products to market
Speakers:
Dr. Liz Specht, Senior Scientist, The Good Food Institute
Stuart M. Pape, Chair, FDA Practice Group, Polsinelli
Dr. Lisa Trimble, Analyst, Food Safety, The Kraft Heinz Company
