The Wanda Fish Toro Sashimi has been announced by the Israel-based cultivated seafood startup as an alternative to conventional bluefin tuna. The product features a whole cut format that is achieved with muscle and fat cells from bluefin tune, and provides the same sensorial experience of consuming the real thing. The product also features protein and omega-3 fatty acid levels that are comparable to what one would get with a conventional piece of bluefin tuna.
VP of R&D Malkiel Cohen commented on the Wanda Fish Toro Sashimi saying, "Our prototype is unique in the cultivated food industry, as there is no cooking or panning of the product. Using multiple bluefin tuna cells to create both muscle and fat and our plant-based 3D design, we capture the essence of a raw fish fillet without preservatives, artificial additives, or GMOs."
