Cultivated meat products are poised to disrupt the meat industry yet many products are still in the research and development phases—Wildtype, a San Francisco start-up using cellular agriculture to grow cultivated seafood, will be opening an in-house sushi bar in the fall.
The first-of-its-kind facility from Wildtype will not only be a hub for cultivated seafood tastings and education, the pilot plant has the capacity to produce about 50,000 pounds of seafood per year in the near term and upwards of 200,000
pounds per year at maximum capacity.
Designed by architect Shuo Zhai, the plant will include a sushi bar, an education center with bleacher seating and glass doors separating the tasting room from the production floor so that people can see cellular agriculture in action.
