FEBRUARY JOINT DINNER MEETING WITH RCA
| DATE: | February 19, 2025 |
| TIME: | 4:30 – Executive Meeting 5:00 – Networking 7:15 – Presentation |
| LOCATION: | Village Green Foods 1732 Kaiser Avenue Irvine, CA 92614 Directions |
| SPEAKER: | Lauran Madden, Ph.D. CTO BlueNalu |
| TOPIC: | Challenges to Our Seafood Supply Chain |
A massive supply chain gap in healthy and sustainable seafood products is growing due to increased population, seafood consumption, and the vulnerability of the oceans. BlueNalu is addressing this challenge by creating a new future of food and making real seafood directly from the cells of fish. This presentation will review the many challenges to our seafood supply chain and the unique benefits that this new food science will provide for both consumers and foodservice operators. An overview of how cell biology, bioprocessing, food science, and culinary technologies are utilized in the manufacturing of the company’s transformative products will be discussed. We will take a look into BlueNalu’s first product, cell-cultured bluefin tuna, and how it is designed for the premium sushi and fine dining marketplace to provide functional and health and safety advantages to consumers and operators.
