Bartek Ingredients has grown to become a world leader in the production of malic and fumaric acid. Bartek’s new facility – currently under construction Stoney Creek – is expected to double the company’s production capacity. While Hamilton may be known for steel, the city’s agribusiness and food processing sector is quickly rising to equal prominence. Currently, there are more than 120 food and beverage manufacturers are operating in Hamilton. And with almost 700 farms operating in Hamilton, this sector leverages short supply chains that support the production of food and food ingredients that are shipped around the world.

👨🏻🍳🥩 ALEPH FARMS TAPS MIZNON CHEF EYAL SHANI TO ROLL OUT CULTIVATED STEAK IN RESTAURANTS The launch of Aleph Farms' cultivated Black Angus Petit Steak – under its Aleph Cuts line – is closer than ever, thanks to a collaboration with Eyal Shani, the celebrity chef behind the restaurant chain MIZNON. Shani is joining the company as an investor and launch partner, helping it introduce its cultivated beef via roaming dining experiences. But it remains to be seen which of Shani’s eateries debuts the product, and when. “Eyal’s dedication to using the finest ingredients and raw materials elevates our new category of animal products, ensuring that it is not only sustainable but also of exceptional quality,” said Aleph Farms co-founder and CEO Didier Toubia. “His innovative spirit and focus on connecting people through food make him an invaluable partner as we launch Aleph Cuts globally.” The Petit Steak is a hybrid meat product comprising non-modified, non-immortalised cells of a premium Black Angus cow, combined with a plant protein matrix made of soy and wheat. It will be priced similarly to premium beef, the company confirmed. Before it launches, though, Aleph Farms needs to clear some regulatory hurdles, including the Good Manufacturing Practices assessment for its production plant.

🧫🥩 UPSIDE FOODS HOSTS PRE-BAN CULTIVATED MEAT PARTY IN FLORIDA On Thursday evening, at a rooftop in Miami, UPSIDE Foods served customers some forbidden chicken. Forbidden, that is, from Monday, July 1, when Florida’s ban on cultivated meat comes into effect. Announced in May by the liberal-elite-hating mayor Ron DeSantis, the law will make a second-degree misdemeanour to manufacture, transport, commercialise or sell cultivated meat. But just to show Floridians what their state is forcing them to miss out on, Upside Foods took its meat straight to its capital. The pre-ban event featured recipes from Miami chef, restauranteur and TV personality Mika Leon, with drinks from mixologist Gio Gutierrez. The tasting was free of charge, which Upside Foods said was the first time cultivated meat has been offered to the public at no cost. This was deliberate. “We wanted to give as many people as possible the opportunity to taste cultivated meat in Florida before it’s banned,” the company’s COO, Amy Chen, told Green Queen. The event was co-hosted by the Brick & Timber Collective, a leading real estate company with properties in Miami, San Francisco and Los Angeles. “This policy not only affects cultivated meat but also stifles progress in biotech, life sciences, and other innovative industries that can thrive here. Opposing such policies is crucial to protect Florida and Miami as vibrant tech hubs,” said Jesse Feldman, a partner at the firm. A host of other states are deliberating restrictions on cultivated meat, from Arizona, Texas and Tennessee in the south, to Nebraska in the midwest and Wisconsin in the Great Lakes. Chen noted that any legislation that “discriminates against cultivated meat” is “disappointing”, whether it’s a ban, defamatory labelling (calling it ‘lab-grown meat’, for example), or research limitations.

The increased awareness of the health benefits of duck meat and shifting customer preferences have led to a continuous growth in the global market for goods made from duck meat. The global duck meat products market is experiencing growth due to several factors. The increased need for high-protein foods is one of the main factors, especially in emerging nations where the middle class is expanding and has more discretionary cash. Furthermore, because duck meat has more protein and less fat than other meats, it is seen as a healthier option. Duck meat items, such as entire ducks, chops, ground duck meat, and other processed duck goods, have become more popular as a result. Key Players AJC International Maison Delpeyrat Maple Leaf Farms.
