How Does Genetic Drift Impact the Safety of Cell-Cultivated Products? | Published in FSA Research and Evidence
By Food Standards Agency, Rosario Romero & 3 more. This review focuses on genetic and epigenetic drift during CCP production and any potential risks that this might present
Lay Summary Cell-cultivated products (CCPs), such as cultivated meat and seafood, are made by growing animal-derived cells in controlled environments. CCPs are considered novel foods. Given that these products are unlike any food previously available, it is important to understand any associated food safety implications and to develop suitable mitigation strategies where required. This review focuses on genetic and epigenetic drift during CCP production and any potential risks that this might present. In this context, the term “drift” refers to the potential accumulation of genetic and…
