USA

Mar 17, 2025

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) completed a pre-market consultation for a human food made with cultured pork fat cells. The FDA has no questions at this time about Mission Barn’s conclusion that food made with cultured pork fat cells resulting from the production process defined in the pre-market consultation are as safe as comparable foods produced by other methods. The firm uses belly fat cells from domestic Yorkshire pigs and grows the cells in a controlled environment to make cultured pork fat. Before this cultured pork fat product can be marketed for use in food, it must also meet USDA’s regulations. As the FDA continues to support innovation in food technologies, resulting in more choices for consumers in the marketplace, the agency’s priority is the safety of food produced through both innovative and traditional methods.
