Early bird registration for the 2024 Regulating the Future of Food Conference, co-organized by Vireo and Atova Regulatory Consulting, October 23-24, 2024, in Amsterdam.

Working with our collaborators at Baylor University, UC Davis and the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory we developed and published a biologically relevant gastrointestinal testing strategy to evaluate the safety of surface-functionalized cellulose materials following oral exposure, based on guidance from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

A new Regulation-Free Special Zone in Gyeongsangbuk-do province in Korea will foster innovation in cultured meat and seafood allowing, for example, companies to legitimately procure a wide range of animal cells from biopsies and same-day slaughtered tissues to create cultured meat.

Bio-based materials and process innovation can provide alternatives to the materials responsible for the worrying prevalence of microplastics in our bodies, our food, and our pets. Vireo is supporting the commercialization of safer and more sustainable products and processes.

US EPA, FDA and USDA have published an ambitious plan for improving regulation of genetically modified plants, animals, microorganisms, human drugs, biologics, and medical devices.
