cell-based food production
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- Cell-based food production involves culturing cells isolated from animals. Various food end products can be developed using muscle and fat tissues from cattle, pigs, poultry, fish, shrimp, crabs, lobsters or even kangaroos.
- La producción de alimentos de origen celular consiste en realizar cultivos de células aisladas de animales. A partir de tejido muscular y graso de vacas, cerdos, aves de corral, peces, camarones, cangrejos, langostas o incluso canguros pueden elaborarse diversos productos alimentarios finales.
- La production d’aliments issus de cultures cellulaires consiste à cultiver des cellules prélevées sur des animaux. Divers produits alimentaires finis peuvent être élaborés à partir de tissus musculaires et adipeux de bovins, de porcs, de volailles, de poissons, de crevettes, de crabes, de homards ou même de kangourous

Scope note
Notes about the usage and scope of the concept.- Cell-based food production involves using cells isolated from animals, plants or microorganisms to produce food products, ingredients or additives. Often times the products can be seen as comparable to the existing animal products, such as meat, poultry, aquatic products, dairy products and eggs. Disclaimer: At present, there is no internationally harmonized definition nor an officially agreed distinction between the terms “cell-based food production” and “cellular agriculture”. These expressions are often used interchangeably across different sources; however, their scope and conceptual boundaries remain subject to interpretation. FAO has not been mandated by its Members to establish consensus in this area, and therefore cannot prescribe a definitive usage. Any terminology presented under these two concepts (“cell-based food production” and “cellular agriculture”) is offered solely for descriptive and informational purposes, with cross-references provided to acknowledge the overlap and ongoing evolution of this nomenclature.
