Steakholder Foods, a forward-thinking developer of plant-based printed products, is adding to its innovative range of slaughter-free cellular agriculture meat products with the world's first plant-based 3D-printed eel. With proprietary 3D printing technology, Steakholder Foods is capable of creating ethical, meatless alternatives with fewer ingredients as compared to typical plant-based alternatives.
Steakholder Foods is exploring collaborations to commercialize its plant-based printed eel by offering proprietary 3D printers and ink. Ultimately, this groundbreaking alternative will give partners and customers the ability to mass-produce 3D-printed eel at a competitive price, all the while protecting wild eels from overexploitation and the risk of extinction in places like Japan, which accounts for a major portion of global eel consumption.
3D-printed eel joins other releases from Steakholder Foods that are disrupting the seafood industry, such as cultivated fish fillets.
