Feyza Sancar PhD

On this page of FDA NEWS is an article written by a Feyza Sancar PhD. She informs us of the joining together of the FDA (Food And Drug Administration) and the USDA-FISIS (US Department of Agriculture Safety and Inspection Service) to work together to regulate Cell Based Meat Products. These are new products that will supplement the supply of meat-based foods. It appears that the FDA will be in charge of collecting ,managing and developing the cell groups. They will also probably be in charge of ensuring the safety of these products. After the harvesting of the cells, the USDA-FISIS will have the job of inspection. packaging and further issues.
