Steakholder Foods Adds Plant-Based Shrimps to Expanding Range of 3D-Printed Seafood and Analogues

Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH), a leader in cultivated meat and 3D bioprinting technology, is excited to announce that it has further expanded its 3D-printing capabilities with the world's first plant-based, 3D-printed shrimps, expertly designed to mimic the authentic texture and flavor of conventional shrimps.

The shrimps were precision-printed on Steakholder Foods' proprietary DropJet printer, designed for fish and seafood printing, using shrimp-flavored ink developed by Steakholder Foods' food technology team.

It is the latest addition to the Company's portfolio of printed seafood products to be offered to potential customers, on a plant (analogue) or potentially hybrid (combination plant and cultivated) basis, as economies of scale develop to enable price-competitive cell development.
