Cultivated meat and seafood can soon be taste tested under limited conditions in The Netherlands
July 5th, it was announced that cultivated meat and seafood can soon be taste tested under limited conditions in The Netherlands. The Dutch government, in collaboration with cultivated meat producers Meatable and Mosa Meat and sector representative HollandBIO, successfully created a ‘code of practice’ that would make tastings possible in controlled environments. This historic agreement makes the Netherlands the first country in the European Union to make pre-approval tastings of food grown directly from animal cells possible, even before an EU novel food approval. We missed the press release in the beginning of July, but great news, it looks like we’re making progress! More details in their press release.
