Netanyahu tastes 3D-printed fish

Israeli company Stakeholder Foods has unveiled the world's first cultivated fish.

During Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit, the company, which uses 3D printing to produce real meat from ethically harvested cells, known as cultured meat, printed for the first time a cultured fish, which the PM tasted. 

"Today we ate fish produced without fish, meat produced without cows. This is a global revolution," Netanyahu said. "Israel is a world leader in the field of alternative protein, and we will make sure that it continues to lead."

Earlier this month, the Prime Minister's Office announced that Israel had placed the promotion of alternative proteins as a "national goal, on the understanding that it is a solution for food security and that the supply and production of alternative proteins will strengthen the Israeli economy."
