UMAMI Bioworks has introduced a cultivated seafood protein platform to address sustainability, supply chain disruptions, and nutritional concerns in the pet food sector. CEO Mihir Pershad highlighted that this innovation provides an alternative protein source without sacrificing safety, quality, or environmental responsibility. The company emphasizes that traditional pet food production consumes millions of metric tons of fish annually, contributing significantly to overfishing and ecological damage. UMAMI Bioworks’ technology enables the creation of premium seafood proteins rich in Omega-3s, selenium, and vitamin D, offering customizable options for diverse pet food formulations. Additionally, the company has been selected for Nestlé’s Purina Accelerator Lab’s UNLEASHED 2025 program, further advancing its mission to integrate cultivated seafood into the pet nutrition industry.
