The Food Standards Agency (FSA) released an evidence review examining
consumer responses to cell-cultivated products in the UK, including meat,
seafood, dairy, and plants. The findings are published in FSA Research and
Evidence.



Previous studies have explored consumer responses to cell-cultivated meat
and seafood, with limited research on plant-based and dairy alternatives.
This review updates three existing studies on consumer perceptions of
cell-cultivated products. However, limited data was observed on consumer
views across religious groups and dietary preferences.



The review showed that a minority (16-41%) of people in the UK are willing
to consume cell-cultivated meat. While 59% of people recognize the potential
benefits of cell-cultivated meat, more people (85%) express concerns
regarding its safety, unnaturalness, and impact on farmers. The review also
showed that FSA approval is essential and people expect cell-cultivated meat
to be regulated and clearly labeled.
