A Compilation of Our First 45 Publications, Part 3: Food Safety

Did you know that New Harvest has supported 45 peer-reviewed scientific publications in cellular agriculture?Here’s part three of our seven part series sharing all 45 of the peer-reviewed publications supported by New Harvest.Part I was on scientific review papers.Part II was on maximizing the positive impact of cellular agriculture on the worldPart III is short and sweet: our single, highly influential paper on the safety of cultured meat.

PART I: SCIENTIFIC REVIEWS (in chronological order) This paper was a collaborative effort, bringing together 87 individuals from 50 different cultured meat companies around the world. Safety is a non-negotiable when it comes to cultured meat, and we need to ensure that policymakers and regulators can get a sense of the whole industry. This paper charts a path forward for safety worldwide. Corresponding Citations Ong, K.

The impact of this paper continues. It has been a resource supporting FAO’s work on the food safety aspects of cell-based food, an ongoing process that I am proud to be part of as a Vice Chair along my colleague and paper author Kim Ong. It is a great example of the power of scientific publications, especially in informing policymakers and regulators.
