This peer-reviewed study explores food safety risks associated with emerging food sources, including plant-derived proteins, seaweeds, jellyfish, insects, microbial proteins, cell-based food production, precision fermentation, vertical farming, and 3D food printing. It highlights microbiological, chemical, and physical hazards in new food production systems (NFPS) and evaluates regulatory frameworks across different regions. The study also discusses the harmonization of safety standards, the role of scientific tools in risk assessment, and multi-stakeholder collaborations. It concludes by advocating for structured safety protocols to enhance consumer trust and global food trade fairness.
