answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2022 answer text <p>Cultivated meat is considered a novel food and is therefore subject to an approval process. When a food business submits a novel food application, it will be assessed by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), with Food Standards Scotland (FSS). If the FSA, FSS and Ministers are satisfied the food is safe and appropriate for the market in Great Britain, the food will be approved. At this stage, the FSA and FSS have not received any applications for cultured meat products.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 21/06/2022 11:26:34 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
