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.

We are delighted to share the news that the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has granted regulatory approval to Vow for the world’s first cell-cultured quail meat.

Food Safety of Fermented Proteins and Cultivated Meat and Seafood, written by Kimberly J. Ong, Fiona Case and Jo Anne Shatkin from Vireo Advisors, chapter 6 in Cellular Agriculture Technology, Society, Sustainability and Science published by Elsevier, reviews potential hazards specific to the manufacture and consumption of fermented proteins and cultivated meat and seafood….

Bene Meat Technologies announced that their cultured meat had been included on the EU Feed Material Register specifically for use in cat and dog food.

We are pleased to announce Vireo is part of a significant new project to assess the safety of serum free media components and standardize testing for the cultivated meat and seafood industry to accelerate innovation.
