CULT Food Science Portfolio Company Releases the World's First Cultivated Fish Ball Laksa
The Company also Announces the Completion of its Continuance Under the Business Corporations Act from British Columbia to Ontario
TORONTO, Sept. 6, 2022 /CNW/ - CULT Food Science Corp. ("CULT" or the "Company") (CSE: CULT) (OTC: CULTF) (FRA: LN0), an innovative investment platform with an exclusive focus on cellular agriculture that is advancing the development of novel technologies to provide a sustainable, environmental, and ethical solution to the global factory farming and aquaculture crises, announces that its portfolio company, Umami Meats ("Umami"), successfully revealed the world's first cultivated fish ball laksa on August 30, 2022. Umami is a cellular agriculture start-up company that works to develop sustainable alternatives for traditional fish production.
The cell-based fish balls created by the Umami team are made from cultivated fish. Then, they are supplemented with plant proteins to give them a similar taste and texture to that of traditional fish balls. As a Singapore-based company, it was important to Umami to create a cell-based dish reflective of the country's rich culture and love of delicious food. Heavy industrial fishing, a rapidly growing population, and climate change have resulted in the overuse and depletion of fish availability as well as global food insecurity. On that basis, Umami is forging ahead to make cell-based fish a high-priority solution.1
Umami featured its cultivated fish product in its own news release on August 31, 2022. The release can be viewed by visiting the following link: https://www.fooddive.com/press-release/20220830-umami-meats-unveils-worlds-first-cultivated-fish-ball-laksa/.
Overall, Umami is focused on developing cell-based solutions for species that are expected to experience severe supply-side shortages in the near future. The venture has developed a proprietary, non-GMO process for producing fish muscle, fat, and connective tissue from a single stem cell. It is actively developing the technology that will enable production of cultivated seafood products for a range of the world's most vulnerable fish species.
"Creating a cell-based fish ball laksa prototype is quite an achievement in the cellular agriculture field. Nothing has been developed like it so far, and CULT is keen to support Umami in this initiative. Umami is on a great path and, at this rate, its innovations may very well lead us to a better and more sustainable future," said Lejjy Gafour, CEO of CULT.
The Company also announces that it has completed its continuation out of the Province of British Columbia under the provisions of the Business Corporation Act (British Columbia) and into the Province of Ontario under the provisions of the Business Corporation Act (Ontario) (the "Continuance"), which was approved by shareholders of the Company at the Special General Meeting of Shareholders held on August 24, 2022. Copies of the certificate of continuation and the articles will be filed on the Company's profile at www.sedar.com and www.thecse.com. There will be no change in the day-to-day business of the Company as a result of the Continuance.
