02 Aug 2021 --- Before the end of the year, US diners could be served sushi-grade alternative salmon, cultivated from fish cells by Wildtype. The alt-seafood pioneer recently began operations at its new pilot production plant, which will be able to deliver up to 200,000 pounds of product per year. Speaking to FoodIngredientsFirst about the start-up’s latest moves is its co-founder, Aryé Elfenbein. “We’re already operating at a scale that no other individual, company, or research institution has achieved in terms of seafood cell cultivation,” he remarks.
