Cultivated Seafood Expansions

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle AND REMOVE

UMAMI Bioworks has announced the launch of cultivated grouper fillet in the UK as part of the brand's commitment to offering sustainable seafood that responds to the challenges in the industry. The fish is characterized by its cultivated profile that eliminates the need for conventional fishing and helps to combat against issues like overfishing, climate change and more. The product is positioned to complement the existing seafood market rather than overturn it as part of the continued evolution of the industry.

CEO Mihir Pershad spoke on the arrival of UMAMI Bioworks' cultivated grouper fillet saying, "UMAMI Bioworks is committed to collaborating with UK stakeholders, ensuring that cultivated seafood complements, rather than disrupts, existing farming industries. The UK government’s ongoing support for cultivated meat technology and a favorable regulatory environment provide fertile ground for UMAMI’s success.”
