Hoxton Farms submits regulatory dossier for cultivated fat in Singapore

Hoxton Farms has submitted a regulatory dossier to the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) seeking market approval for its cultivated fat ingredient, Hoxton Fat.

The submission was led by Hoxton Farms’ director of regulatory affairs, Vítor Espírito Santo, and head of R&D Joe Taylor. It follows several years of research, process development and regulatory preparation.

The London-based company, which grows real animal fat from cells, said the submission represents a significant milestone in its efforts to bring cultivated fat to market as a new category of ingredient for the food industry.

Developed to enhance taste, texture and nutritional profile, Hoxton Fat aims to provide a sustainable and animal-free alternative to conventional pork fat. The company is partnering with meat manufacturers worldwide to develop products that could launch in Singapore following regulatory approval.

Hoxton Farms said this submission marks the beginning of its broader regulatory journey, with additional filings planned across Asia, Europe and North America.
