‘World’s first’ meat-free octopus tentacles developed
Austrian start-up Revo Foods has developed what it claims to be the ‘world’s first’ meat-free octopus tentacles made from mycoprotein.
Coined The Kraken – Inspired by Octopus, the product contains high amounts of fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, and fibre. The Kraken achieves a Nutri-Score ‘A’.
As to how Revo made The Kraken, CEO Robin Simsa revealed the company is currently experimenting with a new 3D structuring technology for its meat-free octopus product. But being a ‘complex’ new production method does come with limitations.
“Therefore, we are launching The Kraken now as a limited edition to observe feedback from the market and our distribution partners and might release it on a wider scale at the end of the year.”
