This Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) webinar will discuss food safety issues around precision fermentation. Although the term is new, the underlying processes have been in use for over a decade. So, what’s driving the renewed attention? Why the “buzzword”?

Two sessions are designed to suit global time zones. Both sessions are very similar, but we have different case study speakers and special guests lined up. Just select the session that fits your schedule and register.

Session 1: Tuesday, 27 May 2025 | 16:00–17:30 CEST (Rome)

Session 2: Wednesday, 28 May 2025 | 08:00–09:30 CEST (Rome)

Both sessions will start with an overview presentation of the latest FAO publication “Precision Fermentation – With a focus on Food Safety”, offering key takeaways on nomenclature, production processes, and current regulatory perspectives. One of the publication’s authors will guide participants through the findings, providing clarity on what precision fermentation is – and isn’t.

Whether you're involved in food safety, regulatory affairs, or food innovation, this webinar will provide timely insights into a technology possibly contributing to the future of agrifood systems. We will have interactive discussion sessions, therefore please bring your questions. A free downloadable copy of the publication is ready for all participants. We look forward to welcoming you online. Registrations are now open with limited virtual seating available on a first-come, first-served basis.
