Vireo strongly supports the responsible development of alternative testing methods including New Approach Methodologies for safety demonstration, and has collaborated in the past to advance their development and acceptance. But, on review, we found there are significant issues with the findings and conclusions of two reports on the safety of micro and nanofibrillated celluloses recently published as part of a European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) – funded Pilot Project.

We are pleased to support the Japan Association for Cellular Agriculture JACA with this seminal report providing a comprehensive assessment of current regulatory and safety evaluation for cultivated meat and seafood products worldwide.
