STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- While a lengthy approval process is typically necessary for gene-edited animals to enter the food market, the FDA streamlined the process for gene-edited cattle, allowing them to skirt the regular approval process
- The FDA announced in March 2022 that Recombinetics’ gene-edited cattle received a low-risk determination for marketing products, including food, made from their meat
- This marks the FDA’s first low-risk determination for enforcement discretion for an intentional genomic alteration in an animal for food use
- The animals have genes modified to make their coats shorter and slicker, which is intended to help them better withstand heat stress, allowing them to gain more weight and increase the efficiency of meat production
- In 2019, Brazil stopped its plans to allow a herd of Recombinetics’ gene-edited cattle after unexpected DNA changes were uncovered
- Long-term safety studies have not been conducted, and experts are calling for long-term safety and toxicity studies
