Wildtype, a San Francisco-based company, has become the first in the U.S. to receive FDA approval to sell lab-grown sushi-grade salmon saku. This innovative product, derived from real Pacific salmon cells, mimics the taste, appearance, and nutritional profile of traditional salmon. Founded in 2017 by Justin Kolbeck and Aryé Elfenbein, Wildtype aims to tackle global food insecurity without harming animals. This approval comes at a time when cultivated meat is a hot topic in political discussions across the country, highlighting the potential shift in food production practices.
Wildtype's salmon is not a plant-based meat alternative; it's actual salmon, derived from Pacific salmon cells that have been fed with nutrients like protein, fat, and salt.
Wildtype was founded in 2017 by Justin Kolbeck, a former diplomat, and Aryé Elfenbein, a cardiologist. Kolbeck says the two shared an interest in entrepreneurship, as well as a desire to pursue new solutions to global food insecurity.
