Bluu Seafood’s Cultivated Products Ready to Enter Regulatory Approval Process in U.S., EU

 Bluu Seafood, a European food tech company producing cultivated fish and seafood, has presented the first market-ready products made from cultivated fish cells. Their fish fingers and fish balls contain cultivated fish cells as the main ingredient and have been enriched with plant proteins to optimize cooking behavior and mouthfeel.
 
 Bluu Seafood targets initial approval and market launch in Singapore by the end of 2023, as the regulatory process there is already well-defined. The company will also apply for approval in the U.S., the UK, and the EU.
 
 In addition to fish balls and fish fingers, Bluu Seafood has also developed first prototypes of complex products such as fillets and sashimi. The company's products are made using animal serum-free growth media and are based on proprietary, non-GMO trout and salmon cell lines.

"With the completion of our first products, we can demonstrate visible and edible results after less than two years of being operational. This officially makes us the first company in Europe to produce cultivated fish. We are now working closely with regulatory authorities to clear the way for market launch and focus on scaling,” said Founder and CEO Dr Sebastian Rakers.
