– Singapore-based cell-cultured meat and seafood company Umami Meats has developed a partnership with Cult Food Science Corp to develop cultivated pet treats.
Cult Food Science Corp., headquartered in Toronto, Canada, is working with Umami to develop Marine Cat – cat treats using cell-cultured meats.
“My vision for the future is that we no longer have to slaughter other animals to feed our cats,” Cult Science Food Corp Vice President of Product Joshua Errett said in a release. “This brand brings me one very great step closer to making that a reality.”
The cat treats contain high levels of omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty chains to benefit the cat’s cognitive functions, the companies said.
“We are pleased to be embarking on this partnership with Marina Cat to power a new category of cultivated pet food products that are healthier for cats and better for our oceans. As a platform technology provider, we are committed to delivering the technology stack that powers the commercialization of cultivated products across a range of applications. This first collaboration with Marina Cat and CULT Food Science is the first step to delivering on that promise,” Umami Bioworks CEO Mihir Pershad said.
