CULT Food Science announced that it has partnered with Umami Meats to supply of cultivated red snapper for pet food brands. The new partnership enables CULT Food Science to rapidly accelerate towards being one of the first companies to bring cultured meat to pets.
CULT Food Science Corp., a pioneer in the investment, development, and commercialization of cellular agriculture technologies and products, announced a partnership with Umami Meats to supply cultivated red snapper for their newly launched pet food brands.
In collaboration with Umami Meats, the Company is including cell-cultivated fish in its cat treat brand, Marina Cat. Cell-cultivated fish ingredients are produced by taking a sample from a fish and then growing and scaling the cells in large bioreactors. This innovative process allows for the creation of fish-based products such as sushi, sashimi, fish balls, fillets, and now, cat treats, without the need for high-impact ocean harvesting. This will be one of the world’s first cell-cultivated fish pet products brought to market.
According to the company’s statement, Marina Cat is focused on the health benefits of ocean-derived ingredients that promote longevity and immunity. It’s a modern treat for cats, exclusively using cell-based fish and marine ingredients, avoiding ocean-devastating commercial fishing practices. The availability of Marina Cat treats will be announced in the near future.
