China, U.S., collaborate on cellular foods

Industry and government officials for China and the United States recently met online to discuss collaboration on cellular foods.


“These meetings provide opportunities for start-ups, financiers, and ultimately all players involved in protein innovation,” said Agfood Future Chairman Ryan Xue. 


“This in-depth sharing between the U.S. and China will have far-reaching significance for governments and industries interested in seeing the adoption of food innovation that will help shape food innovation and the future of food in the U.S., China, and the world,” he said.


Senior Policy Advisor Jeremiah Fasano of the United States Food and Drug Administration said it supports food technology innovation, encouraging industry representatives to connect “early and often” to “discuss the development of food technology, promote industry development, and solve food safety problems together.”
