What is Redefine Meat?
Headquartered in Rehovot, Israel, Redefine Meat is a food technology firm that has developed a patent-pending industrial 3D-printing platform. Unlike traditional plant-based meat products that rely on extrusion, Redefine Meat utilizes a complex, multi-material deposition process to replicate the intricate muscle, fat, and connective tissue structures found in high-value animal meat. This technological edge allows the company to provide a superior eating experience, targeting both the culinary professional market and the broader retail consumer base. By focusing on the intersection of food science and industrial engineering, the company is effectively bridging the gap between sustainability and the traditional meat-eating experience.
