Moves to stem unnecessary delays in regulating foods such as cultivated meat and precision fermentation have been agreed by the UK’s Food Standards Agency
Fermentation is, alongside plant-based and cultivated meat, one of the driving forces behind the alternative protein sector. A new investment from the UK Government aims to boost fermentation innovation.
The UK Government, in its recent National Vision for Engineering Biology policy paper, cemented its backing for the alternative protein sector. While many challenges remain, such as the lack of infrastructure to realise their development, the government nevertheless hopes to grow the sector in the UK.
