Brian Sylvester, Covington & Burling: Cell-cultured meat
Brian P. Sylvester, special counsel, Covington & Burling: As cultured (i.e., cultivated) meat scales up, we're very likely to see additional regulatory clarity from FDA and USDA in the near term, particularly in light of rulemaking kicked off by USDA's recent ANPR on labeling for cultured meat and poultry products. Comments received on this ANPR will likely also influence FDA's approach to labeling for a range of alternative protein products as FDA and USDA plan to align on key labeling principles.
