Steakholder Foods To Launch Perfecta Premium Plant-Based Meat in the U.S. Market

Ness Ziona, Israel, May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH), a global leader in 3D-printing technology for production of whole cuts of plant-based meat, today announced that it is preparing to launch Perfecta^TM Premium Plant-Based Meat in the U.S. market in the second half of 2026, under the slogan “Plant-Based Meat, Perfected!” Perfecta will be positioned as a next-generation, plant-based protein platform, expanding across multiple protein analog categories and designed to address the primary barriers limiting plant-based category expansion, namely taste, texture, and the experience of eating a whole cut of meat.

Perfecta’s key differentiation includes:

• Whole-cut plant-based formats replicating steak and chicken breast-style products;
• Texture created to better replicate fibrous meat structure and mouthfeel;
• Proprietary production process to create marbling-like characteristics, supporting premium positioning;
• Portfolio includes extruded formats such as salmon, white fish, and hamburger patties; and
• Products that have received recognition at international trade shows for taste and quality.
  
  

With Perfecta, Steakholder Foods aims to unlock broader adoption among flexitarian and vegetarian consumers by delivering a plant-based eating experience that more closely replicates conventional meat, enabled by Steakholder’s proprietary production process to produce premium plant-based proteins designed to better mimic the animal meat sensory experience.

Perfecta’s launch is planned to begin with a phased rollout in the Northeastern United States, followed by retail expansion as the supply chain and distribution scale, together with brand and marketing support to drive awareness and establish repeat purchase momentum.

Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods, said: “Our planned entry into the U.S. market marks a pivotal step in Steakholder Foods’ path toward commercialization, reflecting both our technological maturity and our readiness to begin engaging with one of the world’s most important markets.”
