UK: Cell-cultivated products: guidance on classification and HACCP principles
Guidance on applying the hygiene regulations to cell-cultivated products.
Through the Cell-Cultivated Products sandbox programme (Feb 2025- Feb 2027), the FSA and FSS will fast-track their knowledge about cell-cultivated products and use this to produce guidance on a range of topics relevant to these products. As more information through the sandbox programme is gathered, further guidance will be develped and published to help businesses understand how food regulations apply to their products, including updating guidance published earlier in the programme.
This guidance has been developed to help relevant businesses understand and correctly apply the requirements of the hygiene regulations when producing cell-cultivated products. It contains references to relevant legislation that applies and what it means for the food business operators. Further guidance expanding on additional hygiene-related topics will be developed and published through the course of the programme.
