Tyson Foods, a multinational food company, has announced its investment in New Wave Foods, a startup in Silicon Valley that plans to flood the market with its stock of shrimp or shrimp next year.
The Observatory pointed out that the start-up company is trying to enter a fast-growing market, as several companies lead this field with meat-like vegetable substitutes.
The shrimp substitute is made from seaweed extract, vegetable protein, and a range of secret ingredients.
"We focused on making this product for vegetarians trying to reduce meat consumption, so it should be like shrimp," New Wave Foods' chief technology officer told The Washington Post. We worked hard to reach the strength of the shrimp. ”
There are many advantages to ending reliance on real shrimp. According to the WWF, shrimp farms are harmful to wetland ecosystems. Last year's study suggested that the increasing demand for shrimp had a direct negative impact on climate change.
