USDA and FDA will regulate cell-cultured meat

USDA and FDA have announced they will work together to regulate cell-cultured meat. In a joint statement, Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue and FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb say FDA will oversee the cell collection, cell banks and cell growth and USDA will regulate cell harvesting, production and labeling of food products.Lia Biando with the United States Cattlemen’s Association tells Brownfield how the beef industry responds to this national conversation will have lasting impacts.  She’s advocating for a truthful and transparent label for consumers that does not include the terms “beef” or “meat”.  “What they are producing is not technically beef or meat and consumers should know that.”
