12 Aug 2021 --- Singaporean cell-based crustacean company Shiok Meats has completed the acquisition of Gaia Foods, Southeast Asia’s first cell-based red meat start-up. Last October, Gaia Foods created its first structured meat product using the company’s patent-pending cell-based meat technology – thin pieces of pan-cooked beef slices served with rice noodles.“The Alternative Protein space is evolving rapidly, and we are very excited to collaborate and integrate with Gaia Foods,” says Dr. Sandhya Sriram, co-founder and CEO of Shiok Meats. “They are an incredibly talented technical and scientific team with promising technology to produce 3D/structured and textured meats.”
