dc.description.abstract | On 21 September 2023, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) held a hybrid meeting as a side event to the 11th Session of the FAO/WHO Coordinating Committee for the Near East (CCNE11) in Rome, Italy, on the topic of food safety of cell-based food within the context of the Near East region. A total of 53 participants attended the event, which provided a unique opportunity for the participants to discuss topics relevant to the Codex work as well as to the specific regional context. The event highlighted the international activities that FAO and WHO have conducted so far, and the results of the pre-event survey about current regulatory situations for cell-based food in the region. One of the main outcomes of the discussion was the recognition of the usefulness of information exchange on cell-based food among Codex Members. Many CCNE delegates stated that good public awareness of cell-based food is essential to move forwards. However, they also said that currently, knowledge of cell-based food among the general public is limited. Therefore. provision of accurate scientific information by regulators is foremost necessary and with international technical assistance from FAO and WHO, such science communication will be effective. Several concrete regional collaborative activities, such as regulatory information exchange mechanisms, have been suggested and the meeting was concluded on a positive note. | |
