NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2023 79 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.
