In an EU first, French company Gourmey has requested a pre-market authorisation for lab-grown foie gras in the 27-member bloc amid a heated debate among European governments over food innovation.
On July 26, Gourmey, a Paris-based company specialising in cultivated food, announced that it had filed a pre-market application for its cell-based duck product with food safety authorities in the EU, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and the US.
