NEW TECH FOODS

Steakholder Foods, an innovator in alternative protein production and 3D-printing technologies, has announced the commercial rollout of its first plant-based fish products, including white fish kebabs and salmon patties, now available at select vegan speciality stores across Israel.

These products are marketed under the brand name Green Future (Atid Yarok) and are produced in partnership with Bondor Foods.

The introduction of these items follows an earlier pilot phase and marks a significant milestone for Steakholder Foods as it transitions from product development to commercial sales.

According to Steakholder CEO Arik Kaufman, this launch exemplifies the capability of their business-to-business partners to deliver innovative seafood alternatives to consumers, leveraging the company’s proprietary premixes.

This rollout is part of a broader strategy initiated with a purchase order announced in September 2024, which represents Steakholder’s first complete product-cycle revenue stream – from the supply of premixes to retail sales.

The company specialises in developing high-quality, 3D-printed food products that mimic the textures and flavours of traditional seafood, offering manufacturers a sustainable alternative to conventional meat and seafood production.

Steakholder Foods was founded in 2019 and has quickly positioned itself as a leader in the alternative protein sector, focusing on creating products that meet consumer demands for taste, texture and sustainability. The company is also exploring advancements in cultivated cell technology, which could further enhance its product offerings in the future.

Bondor Foods, the manufacturing partner for these new products, provides a range of ready-to-eat vegan and vegetarian options primarily to the institutional market, including hotels and restaurants. The collaboration is expected to expand the availability of plant-based seafood alternatives in various retail and food service channels.
