US meat industry ask Trump for cultured-meat regulation
The controversy brought about by the concept of cultured-meat has moved into the White House backyard. President Trump has been asked to intervene and to place cell-cultured protein products under USDA regulation.
Seven groups representing meat and poultry industry want these products held to the same high standards for food safety and labelling that meat and poultry are held to under the USDA regulatory system, informs KTIC Radio website.
In the open letter addressed to the White House, the groups say, “Cell-cultured products that purport to be meat or poultry should be subject to the same comprehensive inspection system that governs amenable meat and poultry products to ensure that they are wholesome and safe for public consumption”.
Meat industry representatives are saying that these products must be regulated in a way that ensures they are labelled and marketed in a manner that levels the playing field in the marketplace.
