A “Star Trek“-like, food-on-demand 3D printer has just served up a real, cultivated fish fillet for the first time.
Steakholder Foods, a startup based in Israel, produced the 3D-printed cut of grouper – “a significant milestone in the food industry,” says Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods.
Chicken nuggets from Steakholder Foods, pictured, are considered a hybrid product, containing both plant-based and cultured ingredients.
At the time of writing, Singapore is the only country in the world where cultivated meat products are commercially available.
“One way is to create hybrid products, so something that (combines) cultivated meat with plant-based meat or conventional meat,” Block tells CNN.
