英國政府宣布投資 160 萬英鎊，為培育肉和海鮮產品建立歐洲第一個監管。
Food Standards Agency （FSA） 和 Food Standards Scotland （FSS） 正在領導這項計劃，以加快審批流程，同時保持嚴格的安全標準。
這一發展標誌著歐洲細胞農業行業向前邁出了重要一步，有可能使英國成為培育肉創新和商業化的領導者。
該沙箱將使監管機構能夠獲得科學知識，制定詳細的指南，併為公司提供提交前諮詢，最終簡化審批時程表。
將招募一個專門的團隊來收集有關細胞培養產品及其生產技術的科學證據，以便進行更明智和及時的安全評估。
包括 Aleph Farms 、Ivy Farm Technologies 、VITAL MEAT 和 Gourmey 在內的幾家先驅公司已經在英國提交了產品以供監管部門批准。
企業、學術界和監管機構之間的這種合作方式開創了一個令人興奮的先例，可能會激發全球類似的舉措，從而有可能促進細胞農業技術的全球採用。

The UK government has announced a £1.6 million investment to establish Europe's first regulatory sandbox for cultivated meat and seafood products.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) are leading this initiative to accelerate the approval process while maintaining rigorous safety standards.
This development marks a significant step forward for the cellular agriculture industry in Europe, potentially positioning the UK as a leader in cultivated meat innovation and commercialization.
The sandbox will allow regulators to gain scientific knowledge, develop detailed guidance, and provide pre-submission consultations to companies, ultimately streamlining approval timelines.
A dedicated team will be recruited to gather scientific evidence on cell-cultivated products and their production technologies, enabling more informed and timely safety assessments.
Several pioneering companies, including Aleph Farms, Ivy Farm Technologies, VITAL MEAT, and Gourmey, have already submitted products for regulatory approval in the UK.
This collaborative approach between businesses, academics, and regulators sets an exciting precedent that could inspire similar initiatives worldwide, potentially catalyzing the global adoption of cellular agriculture technologies.
