Europe's first market‐ready seafood product grown directly from fish cells.

Bluu Seafood Presents First Cultivated Seafood Products in Europe

  (GERMANY, 8/12/2022)

Bluu Seafood, leading European Foodtech to produce cultivated fish and seafood, has presented the first market-ready products made from cultivated fish cells.

Their fish fingers and fish balls contain cultivated fish cells as the main ingredient and have been enriched with plant proteins to optimize cooking behavior and mouthfeel.

Cultivated fish is created without the animal - directly from cells,  using advanced biotechnology.

The products have reached market readiness and will soon enter the regulatory approval process. Bluu Seafood targets initial approval and market launch in Singapore by the end of 2023, as the regulatory process there is already well-defined. The company will also apply for approval in the US, the UK, and the EU.

Bluu Seafood combines cell and food technology to grow a variety of sustainable, tasty seafood products directly from animal cells.

In addition to fish balls and fish fingers, Bluu Seafood has also developed first prototypes of complex products such as fillets and sashimi. The company's products are made using animal serum-free growth media and are based on proprietary, non-GMO trout and salmon cell lines.

Founder and CEO Dr Sebastian Rakers explained, "With the completion of our first products, we can demonstrate visible and edible results after less than two years of being operational".

"This officially makes us the first company in Europe to produce cultivated fish. We are now working closely with regulatory authorities to clear the way for market launch and focus on scaling," Rakers added.

Bluu Seafood combines cell and food technology to grow a variety of sustainable, tasty seafood products directly from animal cells without compromising animal welfare and with a significantly smaller environmental footprint than conventional fishing.
