Steakholder Foods, a cultivated meat and 3D bioprinting technology innovator, has further expanded its capabilities with the introduction of a plant-based, 3D-printed shrimp analogs designed to mimic the authentic texture and flavor of real shrimp. The Rehovot, Israel-headquartered company’s proprietary DropJet printer for fish and seafood printing uses shrimp-flavored ink developed by its technology team.
