Navarra has become a spearhead in 3D printed food thanks to the recent agreement reached by the companies Foody’s and Cocuus. Both companies have committed to start up the world’s first 3D bio-printing plant for vegetable bacon. In this way, the agreement contemplates that Foody’s will be in charge of the industrialisation and commercialisation of the food produced by Cocuus thanks to its innovative technology.<\/p>\n
From there, the planned production centre will be located in Tudela and its directors are confident that the first products will reach the shelves of distributors “before the summer”. They also announced that, as part of their business plan, they are considering using this system to produce ‘prawns’, ‘salmon’, ‘octopus’, ‘foie’ and ‘tuna’, among other ‘plant-based’ products.<\/p>\n
“Our plant-based bacon is the first of a series of products that are clearly superior to those known in the category to date”, confirmed Gonzalo Agorreta, CEO of Foody’s. For his part, Cocuus founder and CEO Patxi Larumbe assured that its innovative technology “will forever change the way healthy, tasty and sustainable food is produced at scale for everyone”.<\/p>\n
