This comprehensive whitepaper provides food safety managers an in-depth guide on developing an effective HACCP plan, a critical requirement in the food industry.
The first global report on the food safety aspects of cell-based foods has been published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The report is intended to provide a solid scientific basis to begin establishing regulatory frameworks and effective systems to ensure the safety of cell-based foods.
The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) recently conducted an analysis of hazards associated with cultured meat products (also known as “cell-based” or “cultivated” meat) and identified several risk areas while acknowledging that there are still existing knowledge and data gaps.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) will be reevaluating the health risks posed by phthalates and replacement plasticizers used in food contact materials, and has recently published its scientific protocol for the hazard assessment of the substances.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has released three new documents discussing the terminologies, production process, and regulatory frameworks for cell-based foods (also known as “cultivated foods,” “lab-grown foods,” or “cultured foods”).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a final guidance document that is intended to help animal food manufacturers develop hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls for animal food in compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
