Aqua Cultured Foods earns regulatory approval in US for fermentation-based fish-free seafood
Chicago, US-based alt-seafood start-up Aqua Cultured Foods has obtained self-GRAS status in the US, following a recent review by an independent panel of qualified scientific and toxicology experts.
GRAS independent conclusion gives Aqua the green light to sell its products to consumers in the US.
Aqua’s first products – tuna and scallops – are made with clean-label formulations and short ingredient lists. They are optimised for raw applications such as sushi, tartare and ceviche, and will be available to restaurants at either the same price or cheaper than conventional seafood at wholesale.
