Today, Aleph Farms is proud to announce that Ministry of Health Israel has issued regulatory approval for Aleph Cuts, the world’s first cultivated beef steaks. The approval was delivered in the form of a “No Questions” letter, in which Israel’s Ministry of Health confirms its acceptance of Aleph Farms’ conclusion that Aleph Cuts are safe to eat.
The approval grants us permission to produce and market our product in Israel, subject to specific directions for labeling and marketing provided by Israel’s Ministry of Health, and the completion of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) inspection for our pilot production facility. Once these requirements are fulfilled, we will introduce Aleph Cuts to diners, offering exclusive tasting experiences curated in collaboration with select partners.
Amidst truly challenging times in Israel and around the world, we do not approach this moment with exuberance. Instead, we reflect on the profound dedication and the unwavering commitment of our team members, partners, investors and supporters who embarked on our journey to make the world a better place. When the time is right and when everyone is back home safe and sound, we will raise a toast and celebrate together. In the meantime, we are continuing to deliver on our mission #NoMatterWhat.
This groundbreaking regulatory approval is a decisive "first" in more ways than one:
