Aleph Farms seeks UK regulatory approval for lab-grown meat products under FSA's £1.6m "sandbox" initiative.

Aleph Farms is seeking regulatory approval for its lab-grown meat products in the UK, where the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has received £1.6 million to create a safety assessment framework. This two-year "sandbox" initiative will evaluate cell-cultivated products (CCPs), which promise reduced environmental impact and animal welfare concerns. Currently, no CCPs are approved for human consumption, but consumer interest is growing, with 33% of surveyed individuals open to trying lab-grown meat.
