    Brief

    The Food Standards Authority (FSA) is seeking a supplier to conduct a comprehensive 6-month literature review examining the allergenicity risks and safety of cell cultivated products (CCPs) and alternative proteins produced through biomass or precision fermentation. This work supports the FSA's two-year CCP Sandbox programme, which aims to balance innovation in emerging protein technologies with consumer safety. The review will investigate current knowledge gaps regarding allergenic risks posed by CCPs and help inform future regulatory decisions. The project budget is up to £40,000 (excluding VAT) and will be delivered within the 2026/2027 financial year. Suppliers should demonstrate value for money and ensure their proposals remain within the allocated budget. This opportunity is ideal for organizations with expertise in food allergenicity, regulatory science, and emerging food technologies.
