Steakholder Foods Ltd., an international deep tech food company in the cultivated meat industry, announced that it has successfully printed the first ready-to-cook cultivated grouper fish product. As part of the strategic partnership between the two companies, Steakholder Foods customized its bio-inks, utilizing grouper cells provided by Umami Meats Pte Ltd.
To celebrate this achievement, Steakholder Foods hosted Mihir Pershad, CEO of Umami Meats, Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods, Megumi Avigail Yoshitomi, Japan Association for Cellular Agriculture, and Adele Li, Chargée d' Affaires at the Embassy of the Republic of Singapore in Israel, at a tasting event in its Israel facilities. The tasting included a "grouper fish chef's table," with piscine delicacies prepared by the company's chef, Moran Lidor, including Singaporean-style and Israeli-style signature fish dishes. The event came on the heels of the visit of the Israeli Prime Minister, who also watched the fish being printed firsthand and tasted the prototype, becoming the first Prime Minister ever to taste 3D-printed cultivated fish.
