Regulatory shifts, scaling hurdles, and the future of alternative proteins all feature in this week’s roundup.
The FDA is moving to tighten food safety oversight with a proposal for mandatory GRAS notifications – a change that could significantly impact how new ingredients reach the market.
From there, we look at how one packaging giant is collaborating with a bioprocessing start-up to solve some of fermentation’s biggest scale-up challenges. Could partnerships like this be the key to making large-scale production viable?
Meanwhile, a legal battle is heating up in Texas, where two cultivated meat pioneers have joined forces to challenge a state-level ban. The case could set important precedents for the sector’s regulatory landscape in the US.
Standardization is also making headlines this week, with a new global ISO framework set to bring much-needed clarity to plant-based food labeling – a step that could help boost consumer trust worldwide.
On the innovation front, a fresh report shines a light on the untapped potential of whole-cut alternatives, suggesting that the next wave of product development could go far beyond ground and formed formats.
And finally, Europe’s scientific community is calling for stronger policy support in a new roadmap.
