Cultivated meat: More action, less talk?
In a packed education session on alt proteins, fermentation, and cultivated meat, Abena Foli, regulatory affairs chief at cultivated meat co Orbillion Bio said she understood the imperative to issue a press release about every small development at your food tech company, but that firms probably needed to “under promise and over deliver."
Dr Sergiy Smetana at the German Institute of Food Technologies added that sustainability claims based on estimates from lab- or pilot-scale production did not necessarily reflect the realities of industrial scale production when you’re dealing with microbes or mammalian cells, for example, and should be viewed with caution.
