The FDA has granted its first approval for lab-grown fish safety consultation, allowing Wildtype to sell its cultivated salmon in Portland, Oregon. This marks Wildtype as the fourth company to receive such approval, which is vital for marketability, according to experts. The company has begun offering its product at the Haitian restaurant Kann and is preparing for wider distribution. While the FDA is in charge of regulating lab-grown seafood, various states are complicating the landscape with their bans on lab-grown meat, indicating ongoing debates about the technology's acceptance.
The FDA's pre-market safety consultation is voluntary but is helpful for marketability. There's a middle ground between self-affirmation of safety and a lengthy food additive review.
Wildtype's cultivated salmon is now available to order from Kann in Portland, marking a significant step as the first FDA-approved lab-grown fish in the US.
