CULT Food Science Announces Scientific Validation of Patented Ingredient for Cultivated Pet Food

TORONTO,  CULT Food Science Corp. ("CULT" or the "Company") (CSE: CULT) (OTC: CULTF) (FRA: LN0), a pioneer in the investment, development, and commercialization of cellular agriculture technologies and products, has revealed independent, third-party testing of its initial cultivated pet food ingredients. The laboratory results show Bmmune®, CULT's patented cultivated ingredient, exceeds industry-defined standards for protein and essential amino acids, and is a viable if not better alternative to popular premium animal proteins like chicken and lamb.Noochies!

Bmmune® is a patented blend of high-protein nutritional yeast and fermentation products, and is the foundational ingredient in CULT's ground-breaking Noochies! Cultivated Pet Food brand. Results of independent laboratory analysis show nearly twice the level of protein in Bmmune® compared to the industry standard set by the Association of American Feed Control Officials ("AAFCO").

As the table below illustrates, Bmmune® far exceeds standard levels for essential amino acids in dog foods. Normally, the limiting amino acids are those that contain sulfur – methionine, cysteine – which are typically lower in plant-based proteins. But in Bmmune®, those amino acids still far exceed the AAFCO-set standards.

Bmmune® outperforms popular animal proteins in many instances as well, proving it is a viable single-ingredient, all-natural alternative to animal proteins.

Bmmune® is a low-input ingredient – made without extensive usage of arable land, fresh water and carbon-emitting farmed animals or equipment. The recent studies on its protein and amino acid profiles reaffirm it is a premium sustainable protein.
