Stakeholder Interviews on Risk Assessment for Cellular Agriculture Dairy Proteins

Miriam Urlings conducted an interview study as part of the Protein Transition 2.0 research project. The study focuses on the regulatory risk assessment procedure for novel dairy proteins produced via cellular agriculture, such as biomass or precision fermentation, within the European Union. It aims to understand stakeholder perspectives on the process managed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Use Cases

• Analyze stakeholder perceptions of regulatory complexity based on the description of the EFSA risk assessment process.
• Study the tension between sustainable innovation and food safety based on the description of EU food law priorities.
• Map the roles of different stakeholder groups (food business operators, regulators, experts) based on the description of the interview study's objective.

Strengths

• Focuses on a timely and specific regulatory topic: risk assessment for cellular agriculture-produced dairy proteins in the EU.
• Data is part of a named research project (Protein Transition 2.0), providing a clear research context.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
