REHOVOT, Israel, Feb. 13,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Steakholder Foods Ltd.

deep-tech food company at the forefront of the cultivated meat
industry, is proud to announce that it has received approval for
its patent on Physical Manipulation of Cultured Muscle Tissue in
Canada. This patent, which has
already been granted in the US, Australia, and New
Zealand, covers systems and methods for applying external
forces to muscle tissue, resulting in the development of
high-quality complex structured meat.
The approval of this patent in Canada is another milestone for Steakholder

strengthen its IP portfolio. This move underlines the company's
commitment to innovation and leadership in the field of cultivated
meat and is a testament to the company's expertise in developing

physical manipulation of cultured muscle tissue have been a game
changer in the cultivation of structured meat. By strengthening and
enhancing the muscle tissues in a way that mimics a cow's natural
development, we are able to achieve a desired texture that drives
consumer preference. This breakthrough in methodology and
technology will play a crucial role in creating complex structured
whole-cut meat products with the right elasticity, density, and
taste. We're thrilled to bring this innovation to the market and
offer consumers a delicious, sustainable alternative to traditional
meat."
