The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has determined that the risk is 'low' after a safety review of selling genome-edited cattle as meat products. This is the first decision to allow genome editing for beef cattle.

The FDA has approved meat use for two genome-editing cattle and their offspring. According to the FDA, there are no safety concerns due to intentional genomic modification (IGA).

This cow is 'PRLR-SLICK' whose genome has been edited by CRISPR technology, and it can cope with hot climate with very short hair.

The FDA has approved genetic modification of salmon, goats, chickens, rabbits, and pigs in the past, but the approval received by 'PRLR-SLICK' this time is 'Genome-edited cattle and conventional breeding cattle. There is no substantial difference in the final products that will be produced. '

Stephen Solomon, director of the FDA Veterinary Center, said the decision is likely to pave the way for future genetic editing, 'opening the way for animals, including low-risk IGA, to reach the market more efficiently. I'm looking forward to that. '

By the way, regarding the use of PRLR-SLICK cattle, farmers do not need to register with the government.
