#IYKYK Manufacturing, branding, and distributing a responsibly (licensed, sanitary, insured) produced seafood product in the US is no small feat. It is incredibly challenging, requires immense collaboration and pathbreaking, beyond what most would imagine. Thus, it's immensely rewarding when retailers (look for Pescavore in New Leaf Community Markets soon! Among our other beloved local stockists), media, and local decision-makers show their support in tangible ways like distribution partnerships and media coverage. All of these actions represent legitimate, non-performative support for a burgeoning food movement. This movement prioritizes local, abundant, credibly sustainable and regenerative food systems that not only employ Americans but also enhance their health daily. A heartfelt thank you to Mark C. Anderson & Good Times and for the 'Basket Case' feature. Much of our literature about eating seafood twice a week came from the very helpful folks over at Seafood Nutrition Partnership. Looking for credible guidance from a non-profit? Paddle on over to what constitutes a great and user/market friendly resource. https://lnkd.in/gUAkvjme CLEAN JERK One of the cooler homegrown foodie companies in Santa Cruz—which is saying something, but that is no hyperbole—is offering an intriguing way to earn a discount. Pescavore’s smoked tuna jerky, in all its wild-caught and sustainable glory, comes at 10 percent off for those willing to make a pledge to eat seafood twice a week. Pescavore’s website makes the pitch for why such a pledge a good idea, shouting out the health benefits (Vitamin D! Omega-3 fatty acids!) and environmental upside of responsibly fished seafood (Fewer fossil fuels! Reduced land impacts!). The kicker: The island teriyaki, smoked poke and Caribbean jerk strip packs are flat-out tasty, and convenient to pack along in your lucky lunchbox. pescavoreseafood.com #seafood #sustainableseafood #localfood #newfoodmovement #sdg12 #sdg9 #sustainabledevelopment #manufacturing #foodmanufacturing #tuna #lovelocal #seafood2xwk #betterforyou #betterfortheplanet

Happy National Honey Bee Day! Did you know a third of the world’s food supply depends on pollinating insects like honeybees? About 80% of all plants are pollinated by bees, which has an economic value of over 200 billion USD! This day we would also like to represent our beloved honey brand Breitsamer. Breitsamer was founded over 85 years ago in Munich, the capital of Bavaria in Germany. It is run as an independent family company in its third generation. All Breitsamer honeys are produced in Germany, and represent authentic honey enjoyment from traditional and sustainable apiaries. They meet consistently high quality demands that are higher than required by the German Honey Regulation, which is that: - Honey is the naturally sweet substance that is produced by the bees. - Nothing may be added or taken out. - Only natural, untreated, unadulterated honey may bear the name “honey“. 💛🐝🍯 #honeybees #honeybee #nationalhoneybeeday #gourmetinternational #foodimport #foodimporter #foodimportation #fooddistribution #fooddistributor #fooddistributors #fooddistributionusa #usa #importer #distributor #distributors #importers #gourmet #gourmetfoods #gourmetfood #international #lovedlocally #inspiredglobally #globalfood #globalfoods #internationalfood #internationalfoods

Great article with Focus Outlook, highlighting the intricacies of the Food, Beverage, & Agriculture industry specific to technology!

“A delicious solution with a purpose, making waves in the world of snacks.” We are thrilled to see Pescavore earn top honors in Food and Beverage Magazine Editor’s Top Picks: Find the full list here: https://lnkd.in/gHVc73NZ It's uncommon to see a category (US meat snacks, TAM $4.9bn) deliver double-digit growth, with multiple insurgent players reaching middle-market size over a 10+ year period that only shows signs of accelerating. But there has always been a white space for seafood. And not for lack of many - private and national brands - trying to fill it. Barriers to snackability and portability are as extensive as the alphabet - botulism, listeria, histamine poisoning - along with other risks associated with carrying unrefrigerated seafood as if it were immune to these very real issues. Designing for appropriate use is at the cornerstone of product engineering and we are delighted to see our market leading strategies paying off with genuine and meaningful recognition of the brand and the approach. We are also incredibly inspired by the unwavering support of our impactful partners, who are moving capital, shifting the supply chain, and fostering genuine collaboration to give this unique opportunity the chance it deserves to earn its place in a more responsible relationship with our oceans. Best is still yet to come, exciting new key retail partners launching in January! 🍀 Sunset Strategic Brands, LLC #EmergingBrand #emergingbrands #meatsnacks #flexitarian #seafood #seafoodindustry #tuna #sdg14 #supplychain #responsiblesourcing #missiondriven #foodinnovation #foodengineering #foodmiles #designthinking #protein #cleanlabel #tailwind #alpha

👨🏻🍳🥩 ALEPH FARMS TAPS MIZNON CHEF EYAL SHANI TO ROLL OUT CULTIVATED STEAK IN RESTAURANTS The launch of Aleph Farms' cultivated Black Angus Petit Steak – under its Aleph Cuts line – is closer than ever, thanks to a collaboration with Eyal Shani, the celebrity chef behind the restaurant chain MIZNON. Shani is joining the company as an investor and launch partner, helping it introduce its cultivated beef via roaming dining experiences. But it remains to be seen which of Shani’s eateries debuts the product, and when. “Eyal’s dedication to using the finest ingredients and raw materials elevates our new category of animal products, ensuring that it is not only sustainable but also of exceptional quality,” said Aleph Farms co-founder and CEO Didier Toubia. “His innovative spirit and focus on connecting people through food make him an invaluable partner as we launch Aleph Cuts globally.” The Petit Steak is a hybrid meat product comprising non-modified, non-immortalised cells of a premium Black Angus cow, combined with a plant protein matrix made of soy and wheat. It will be priced similarly to premium beef, the company confirmed. Before it launches, though, Aleph Farms needs to clear some regulatory hurdles, including the Good Manufacturing Practices assessment for its production plant.

Cultivated meats in EU - here we go!? GOURMEY has announced the filing of an application for approval of its cultivated foie gras with the the European Commission (EC) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). This is the first application for a cultivated meat product in Europe. Last autumn, The Cultivated B had entered the pre-submission phase with its hybrid sausage product, but the company has not officially filed for approval yet. I'd be curious to hear your opinion: given that "real" foie gras is a highly controversial product – is it a stroke of genius to start the process in EU with it? Will it help accelerate decision making? From an biz perspective, the fact that specialty meats have customers with a higher willingness to pay certainly eases the economics of scaling. #cultivatedmeat #lebensmittel #food picture credits: Romain Buisson
