Plant-based food items are popular today and it is considered a breakthrough in the food manufacturing business. Another popular innovation today is 3D printing where three-dimensional objects are created using a machine.
Now, these two innovations have been combined and it is now possible to make 3D plant-based burgers! In fact, SavorEat, Israel headquartered alternative food manufacturer, is bringing the 3D printed vegan burgers to the United States.
The company introduces the special burgers made by a “robot chef” in the U.S. in partnership with Sodexo, a French food service firm. According to Vegconomist, SavorEat confirmed it will team up with the Issy-les-Moulineaux, Paris headquartered company to carry out a pilot program in Uncle Sam’s land.
With the deal, the Israeli startup company will be able to bring its 3D-printed plant-based burgers to the country and serve them to American colleges. The pilot program has been scheduled to start next year with no exact date mentioned.
Following the pilot, SavorEat’s next goal is to release its products to the commercial market in the year 2023. As to why it will be carrying out the pilot program in universities, the company explained that this is because these institutions are just the ideal place for testing since younger people are now eating a flexitarian diet. The younger generations are also developing concerns about the environment so they are becoming vegans.
“SavorEat is constantly working on growing with big players and companies in the foodservice arena with a special focus on the US market,” Rachell Visman, SavorEat’s chief executive officer, said. “It is ongoing and intensive work that takes shape. We are very happy that Sodexo sees the potential in our innovative technology.”
The Times of Israel noted that this is the startup’s very first major global partnership. Visman said that from the start, their main market is in the US so it is a good opportunity for them to be able to “collaborate with an institutional kitchen as a way to test the market.”
Meanwhile, SavorEat’s unique 3D printed plant-based burgers are made with nano-cellulose, a fiber that can be easily molded into different kinds of textures. It is also gluten-free, allergen-free, and made using a customized 3D printer that uses infrared light to cook the patties as the machine prints.
