▼ + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( Valerie Insinna | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

Investors are clamoring for details on the extent of the problem, which Boeing said involves a “significant” portion of the 737 fleet where two brackets were improperly installed.

While the plant-based burger wars have been waging for several years now, plant-based fish is just in its infancy.

He noted that unlike fake meat, which is usually more expensive than the real thing, fake fish could be cheaper for consumers since the cost of real fish has skyrocketed. In addition to Lever VC, New School Foods is backed by Blue Horizon, Hatch, Good Startup, Alwyn Capital and Joyance Partners.
