Steakholder Foods rolls out plant-based fish products in Israeli retail.
Steakholder Foods, a developer of 3D-printing technologies for alternative proteins, has commercially launched its first plant-based seafood products in Israel, marking the company’s entry into full product-cycle revenue generation.
The two products — a white fish kebab and a salmon patty — are now available under the Green Future (Atid Yarok) brand in vegan specialty stores across Israel. They are manufactured by Bondor Foods, a local producer and distributor of plant-based foods, following a pilot phase and commercial scale-up.
“Seeing first products selling in the market based on our prize-winning premixes is a huge step forward for Steakholder,” said Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods. “It is an exciting demonstration of how successfully our B2B customers and partners can roll out compelling, scalable, next-generation seafood alternatives to consumers.”
The products are sold in 180g packs for 21.90 shekels ($6.50), made from rice and soy proteins, refined coconut oil, and soy protein hydrolysate. They contain no cholesterol, and 7.7g of protein per 100g.
Proprietary 3D-printing technology
Steakholder Foods, formerly MeaTech, was founded in 2019 and specialises in 3D-printing hardware and premix formulations for plant-based and cultivated proteins. Its DropJet printing technology, designed specifically for seafood applications, creates structured analogues using gel-based droplets. This allows for reduced ingredient complexity while replicating the texture of conventional fish.
The company has previously unveiled prototypes of 3D-printed eel and shrimp and has collaborated with Singapore’s Umami Bioworks on cultivated fish R&D. It is now working with the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster in Singapore to advance hybrid protein commercialisation.
Commercial significance
The launch represents Steakholder’s first revenue stream from a complete product cycle — from proprietary premix formulation through to consumer retail. It follows a September 2024 purchase order and aligns with growing consumer demand for sustainable seafood alternatives amid concerns over overfishing, microplastic pollution, and ocean ecosystem collapse.
According to the Marine Stewardship Council, over 80% of global fisheries are fully or overexploited. A 2024 survey found that 30% of consumers reported eating less seafood in the past two years, with 43% citing sustainability as a key reason.
Steakholder Foods is dual-listed on the Nasdaq and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. In March 2025, it secured a $1.25 million private placement from Alumni Capital and has drawn $740,000 from a $1 million Singapore-Israel R&D grant. The company recently announced a deal with Taiwan’s Vegefarm to supply its MX200 3D printer and premixes for the local production of plant-based proteins.
