Dr. Kimberly Ong will present “Cultured meat and seafood: Safety considerations and research priorities” during the EFSA ONE Conference 2022.

Cultured meat and seafood are animal meat products manufactured through the cultivation of animal cells in vitro. Interest in development and manufacture of cultured meat products is rapidly increasing, with ingredients and products now being developed and even starting to enter the market. This presentation will provide an overview of the general manufacturing process and safety considerations related to various stages of production, and propose priority areas of research needed to advance safe commercialization of cultured meat and seafood.
