(Old/R2G) 6.12. Regulatory approval in Europe vs. the US and Singapore with Seth Roberts, The Good Food Institute Europe

- An old episode from the Red to Green Podcast on Food Tech & Bio Tech. Listen if you are interested in the future of food, but this isn’t Scaling Nerds.Red to Green was a podcast that investigated how to transition the food industry from harmful to healthy, from polluting to sustainable, from Red to Green. Each season had a different topicSeason: Cultivated MeatSeason: Plastic AlternativesSeason: Food HistorySeason: Food WasteSeason: Biotech in FoodSeason: Book Reviews on the future of foodWhy is it so hard to get approved in Europe? What does the actual process look like? What are the steps? What do companies need to do? And what is the difference between the systems in Europe, Singapore, and the U.S.?(All the technologies we covered this season have one thing in common: sooner or later, they need regulatory approval. But what does that mean? We often talk about the U.S. system, the FDA - the food and drug administration and the USDA, the United States Department of Agriculture. These two regulators work together for certain novel products like cultured meat. But you may know that Europe has very high safety and quality standard. As one startup founder told me" "If you can get past Europe, you can get em all"I love this topic, and we dive deep! If cultured meat, precision fermentation or biomass fermentation, or new terms for you, maybe check out the first episodes of this season to get an introduction.LINKSConnect with Marina Schmidt https://www.linkedin.com/in/schmidt-marina/
