Description

Cell cultivated products (CCPs) and alternative proteins produced by biomass or precision fermentation are an emergent food sector around the world. The FSA CCP Sandbox programme is a two-year programme designed to inform regulatory actions that strike the right balance between supporting innovation and ensuring consumers safety. CCPs claim to have benefits in protein quality, environmental impact, and improved animal welfare implications. The FSA is seeking a supplier to deliver an allergenicity focussed literature review of CCPs under a 6-month contract. The work will investigate the knowledge gap in the allergenic risks of CCPs. An indicative budget of up to £40,000(excluding VAT) has been allocated to this project within the 2026/2027 financial year. Tenderers should ensure proposals remain within this budget envelope offer and demonstrate value for money.
