"Lab-grown foie gras, edible insects and 3D-printed chocolate are among the food innovations likely to reach the UK public within 15 years, experts have said. A new report by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) highlights the innovative food technologies that are most likely to transform UK plates by 2035 and the steps they take to make sure they are safe."
"Among the technologies that could arrive on British plates soon are foods grown from animal and plant cells in a lab, such as steak, chicken and duck foie gras, with two products already being risk-assessed by regulators and others preparing for the process."
"The FSA said allergen proteins in crustaceans can also be found in edible insects, which means people with a shellfish allergy could have a similar reaction to eating bug products making it one of the things that"
The Food Standards Agency and Food Standards Scotland released a report identifying innovative food technologies expected to transform UK diets by 2035. Lab-grown products including steak, chicken, and foie gras are undergoing regulatory risk assessments, with two products already in the process. Edible insects, available as whole products or powders, are being sold under temporary arrangements while safety evaluations continue. Four insect species are currently on sale in the UK. A significant concern involves allergen proteins found in crustaceans that also appear in edible insects, potentially triggering similar allergic reactions in shellfish-allergic individuals. These technologies represent major shifts in food production and consumption patterns.
