This Town is getting a new kind of meat group
Five companies working on growing meat, poultry and seafood products from animal cells have formed a coalition — the Alliance for Meat, Poultry & Seafood Innovation, or AMPS Innovation, for short — to represent the industry’s interests in Washington and beyond.The sector is so new the start-ups in the group don’t yet have anything on the market. There’s a big question about which regulations and regulatory bodies will apply to them.
"We're seeing consumer interest, we're seeing broad media interest, policy-maker interest; it all has happened pretty quickly,” said Andrew Noyes, a spokesperson for JUST, a San Francisco-based company that also makes a plant-based egg replacement and other similar products. The companies are already contending with questions over how regulators will divide oversight responsibilities to ensure that cell-based meat and poultry products are safe to eat. The Agriculture Department and FDA have been working together on the new regulatory plan for several months aftera public turf war over which arm of the government would oversee cell-based meats.
Other companies in the alliance have also hired their own representation in Washington. BlueNalu, for example, registered with Drinker Biddle & Reath in July, though the company reported no activity in the second quarter, per disclosures. Mike Selden, CEO of Finless Foods, said the alliance is trying to be inclusive as it grapples with nomenclature.
