The biotech company introduced its innovative beef substitute for pet food using an insect-protein production method.

The study revealed that PEKILO®Pet has a significantly lower carbon footprint than many common pet food ingredients.

Together, the two companies will work to bring a commercial-scale cultivated meat production system to market. 

The alternative protein platform is intended to respond to growing demand for high-quality, nutritious and sustainable pet food. 

The manufacturer announced its exclusive partnership with Reconseal Inuksiuti to secure a steady supply of seal meat.

The company received a Česká hlava award for its sustainable meat that can be used in human and pet food.

The sustainable protein supplier hopes to achieve a capacity of 15,000 tons annually by the end of 2026. 

In addition to seeking Novel Food approval in the EU, the company is also seeking GRAS status in the US.

According to a new study on PEKILO®Pet, the alternative protein can help enhance gut microbiome diversity.
