Steakholder Foods plans to penetrate the Japanese market.
Steakholder Foods Receives First Registered Trademark in Japan
(ISRAEL, 11/4/2022)
Steakholder Foods Ltd. (NASDAQ: STKH), (formerly MeaTech 3D: MITC), an international deep-tech food company at the forefront of the cultured meat industry, today announced that its name has received a registered trademark in Japan.
The move is a next important step in the company's plans to penetrate the Japanese market and other markets in the region. Recently, Steakholder Foods started collaborating with Singaporean cultured seafood company, Umami Meats, to create 3D-printed structured seafood products which include a variety of seafood and fish species that are popular in Japan.
The Japanese government has begun the process of approval for the purchasing and consuming of cultivated seafood and meat.
This year, Japan's Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry began a process to discuss possible regulatory frameworks and guidelines for the eventual commercialization and industrialization of cultivated meat in Japan.
Japan is making moves to regulate the cultured seafood and meat industry.
The partnership with Umami Meats adds seafood and fish to the company's portfolio of bovine, avian and porcine products under development. Steakholder Foods' innovative 3D-bioprinting technology can produce complex meat products with pinpoint precision at an industrial rate of production without impacting cell viability.
Cultivated meat and seafood and, other alternative proteins will soon have rules drawn up by Japan's Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry.
