Aleph Farms, an Israeli cell-cultured meat company, has obtained regulatory approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health for its cultivated beef manufacturing process.

This approval allows Aleph Farms to produce and market its cell-cultured beef product, Aleph Cuts, in Israel, subject to labeling and marketing directions by Israel’s Ministry of Health. Further, it will aid in completing the Good Manufacturing Practices inspection for its pilot production facility, along with other regularotry requirements, after which, it plans to collaborate with select partners for exclusive releases. 

Analyst QuickTake: With this development, Israel joined the ranks of Singapore and the US as one of the few countries that have approved the sale of cultivated products, while Aleph Farms became the first company to receive regulatory approval for a cultivated beef product. Singapore and Israel are Aleph Farms’ main focus markets, and it is also awaiting regulatory approval in Switzerland , the UK , and the US.
