Steak made with 3D-printing technology is moving from the laboratory to the grocery aisle.

Israeli food technology company Steakholder Foods has launched Perfecta, a line of plant-based meat and seafood alternatives, at retail outlets in the northeastern United States. The September rollout includes products designed to resemble steak, chicken, and fish, using the company’s proprietary food-production technology.

The launch marks a commercial step for a technology that promises more realistic meat alternatives. But questions remain about where the products are available, how they are made, and whether the approach can compete with conventional food manufacturing.
