A Major Breakthrough: -100°C in Less Than 10 Seconds 
This year, UFrost reached a significant milestone with its patented technology, now capable of flash freezing by reaching -100°C in less than 10 seconds. Powered by a sustainable process using recycled CO2, this innovation sets new standards in rapid freezing technology and opening possibilities for essential industries.

UFrost PRO: The World's Smallest Freezing Machine

With its sleek design, it transforms kitchens into creativity labs, allowing chefs and mixologists to reinvent their classics and create unique works quickly and efficiently. For instance, Chef Loyd Von Rose froze a pear solid in just 20 seconds, which he then grated to complete his burrata with truffles, providing a unique texture and stunning presentation. Similarly, The Bootlegger used Ufrost's technology to create their infamous frozen tiramisu, an innovative take on the classic dessert that amazed and delighted guests with its unique texture and original presentation.

TORONTO, Dec. 5, 2024 /CNW/ - CULT Food Science Corp. ("CULT" or the "Company") (CSE: CULT) (OTC: CULTF) (FRA: LN00), a pioneer in the investment, development, and commercialization of cellular agriculture technologies and products, congratulates Australian startup, Vow, for becoming the first cultivated meat company to satisfy the Hong Kong Centre for Food Safety requirements and for launching their Forged Gras product in restaurants across Hong Kong.

Alongside this achievement, CULT is pleased to share updates on the remarkable progress of Israeli startup Supermeat and Czech biotech company Bene Meat Technologies, each contributing to a more sustainable, animal-friendly food system.

Key Takeaways:

• Vow has earned regulatory approval in Hong Kong for their lab-grown foie gras. This marks the first regulatory approval in Hong Kong for a cultivated meat product.
• Supermeat has achieved a breakthrough in cost parity for its cultivated chicken. Recent advancements in yield and speed allow SuperMeat to produce a pound of chicken for USD$11.79, on par with pasture-raised premium chicken in the U.S.
• In partnership with the Czech Technical University and the University of Nottingham, Bene Meat Technologies recently completed a life cycle assessment study showing that cultivating 1kg of meat only required 3.1 square meters of land and produced 5.28kg of CO2 emissions.

Vow
Vow has recently launched Forged Gras – a revolutionary twist on the delicacy, foie gras – making it the first and only company actively selling multiple cultured meat products in multiple markets. Vow's innovative twist on this highly sought-after but frequently banned dish marks the beginning of a new generation of food. Unlike traditional efforts to replicate existing foods, Vow is pioneering new products that bring the unimaginable and otherwise impossible to the table. Forged Gras pays homage to this delicacy, but it's not foie gras as we traditionally know it—it's the first "fatty liver" experience to be sourced from a tiny Japanese quail and crafted without any animal intervention, setting a bold new direction for the future of food.

SuperMeat
This Israeli startup which produces chicken meat composed of muscle and fat directly from animal cells, has announced advancements in both yield and speed which allow Supermeat to reduce its cost to produce cultivated chicken to USD$11.79 per pound. This is on par with pasture-raised premium chicken in the U.S. and marks a key step in commercializing cultivated chicken.

Bene Meat Technologies
Bene Meat Technologies is a Czech startup focused on research and development of technology for the production of cultivated meat on an industrial scale. In partnership with the Czech Technical University and the University of Nottingham, Bene Meat Technologies recently completed a life cycle assessment study focused on the industrial cultivation of meat. The study found that 3.1 square meters of land was needed to cultivate 1kg of meat which is a reduction compared to conventional farmed meat. The study also showed that 5.28kg of CO2 emissions are produced per 1kg of cultivated meat. Ourworldindata estimates conventional farmed meat typically generates between 20kg and 100kg of CO2 emissions per 1kg of meat.

Management Commentary

"The recent regulatory approval for Vow in Hong Kong marks a significant milestone in the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape for cultivated meat. At CULT, we are excited to celebrate Vow's groundbreaking achievement, which underscores our collective commitment to transforming the future of sustainable, cruelty-free food. While we celebrate this success, we also turn our attention to our diverse portfolio of companies, each of which plays a crucial role in creating a world where innovation and compassion work together to nourish and sustain us all," said Mitchell Scott, CEO of CULT.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premium better-for-you chocolate brand Chocxo today announced it received top honors at the 17^th annual Rise Awards Night this past week, hosted by BC Food & Beverage. The celebratory event acknowledges creativity, resilience, and community impact within British Columbia’s food and beverage industry.

Chocxo received the following honors:

• Best in Brand - The Best in Brand Award celebrates brands achieving growth through innovative strategies, recognized as leaders in their category, utilizing diverse consumer-facing media, and distinctive packaging design
• Product of the Year (Bronze Award) - In a thrilling Dragon’s Den-style competition, the company’s Lemon Crème Cups placed among the top three of all products considered for the award

With 72% cacao surrounding a creamy lemon-infused white chocolate center to create a symphony of citrusy brightness and decadent dark chocolate in each bite, Dark Chocolate Lemon Crème cups, each with only 4g of sugar, have become a fan-favorite and Chocxo’s fastest-selling product ever, quickly disappearing from shelves at retailers like Sprouts, Erewhon and Costco.  

A decade ago, Chocxo set out to make the most mouth-watering, delicious chocolate – and to make it better for people and the planet. The brand has since become known for truly indulgent chocolates that are naturally lower in sugar with simple, high-quality organic ingredients.

Internationally, Chocxo products are available in Costco Canada club locations and most other retailers across Canada. In the United States, they can be found at Sprouts Farmers Markets, Natural Grocers stores, select Whole Foods Markets, select Costco locations, and various retailers and grocers across the U.S.
