Food safety aspects of cell-based food
Considering the unique outlook for cell-based food production, many countries may put in place various regulatory requirements for cell-based food products to be sold in the markets. Some may require a pre-market authorization process, which often entails assessment of their safety for human consumption and compliance with national regulations. As of 2022, while there is only a limited number of products authorized in one country only, it is just a matter of time before cell-based food starts being authorized elsewhere and/or transported and traded across borders. It is therefore important to first understand the existing frameworks under which cell-based food products may be regulated. It is also important to identify some specific regulations for food safety purposes, so that some good practices can be recognized and documented. A literature review was conducted to provide the time-bound state of the art on the regulatory frameworks that apply to or would apply to cell-based food products in different countries and jurisdictions. The results of the review serve as a basis for the competent food safety authorities to consider the key elements within their regulatory frameworks for effective national food control systems.
