The company’s product, Aleph Cuts, received a ‘no questions’ letter from the Israeli Ministry of Health, a similar endorsement to the FDA’s in the US, allowing them to market their cultivated beef products in Israel.
This approval makes Israel the third country, after Singapore and the U.S., to greenlight cultivated meat. However, previous approvals in these countries were for cell-based chicken products, marking Aleph Farms’ product as unique in being cultivated beef.
Aleph Farms’ hybrid meat, blending cell-cultured beef from unmodified Black Angus cow cells with plant proteins, is produced in an antibiotic-free, aseptic environment. The product is priced similarly to premium conventional beef.
