A cell-based meat and seafood company – the first of its kind in Singapore and South-East Asia MoreLess

Shiok Meats is a pioneering cell-based clean meat company, the first of its kind in Singapore and Southeast Asia. The company focuses on producing delicious, clean, and healthy seafood by harvesting meat from cells instead of animals. Shiok Meats specializes in cell-based crustacean meats, including shrimp, crab, and lobster, aiming to provide an alternative to traditional seafood that is animal-friendly, health-conscious, and environmentally sustainable.

Shiok Meats operates in the alternative protein market, targeting consumers who are looking for sustainable and cruelty-free seafood options. The business model revolves around developing proprietary cell-culturing technology to produce seafood, which will be sold directly to consumers and through partnerships with food service providers. Revenue will be generated through the sale of these cell-based seafood products. Keywords: cell-based, seafood, sustainable, shrimp, crab, lobster, alternative protein, clean meat, Southeast Asia, cruelty-free.
