SteakHolder Foods Showcases World's First 3D Printed Eel Meat

Finding sustainable and ethical sources of fish has been an ongoing challenge across the world. But is 3D printing the future of seafood?

What’s happening:

  • Israel based deep-tech food company Steakholder Foods (NASDAQ: STKH) has launched the world’s first plant based, 3D printed eel
  • Through their proprietary 3D printing technology, Steakholder Foods has replicated both the texture and taste of traditional eel

Why it matters:

  • Slaughter free meat is one of the fastest growing spaces in food technology, as it addresses both ethical and environmental concerns caused by traditional factory farming

Going deeper:

  • While Steakholder Foods has initially launched a plant based version of 3D printed eel, they plan to develop a cell cultivated version in the near future
  • Steakholder Foods is looking to monetize their 3D printed eel by selling commercial partners their proprietary printers and ink, enabling them to rapidly scale their own production

The intrigue:

  • Eel as a species is facing a major risk of extinction, largely due to difficulties in breeding eel in farms and illegal fishing globally
