Whole-muscle seafood, made from plants. Our plant-based salmon looks, cooks, tastes and flakes - just like fish.
New School Foods has created it’s first product - a plant-based fillet of salmon that looks, cooks, tastes and flakes like fish. The firm is ready to start external taste tests with professional chefs. The feedback from those chefs will help us improve our product as we prepare for our initial launch. We have also identified some regulatory restrictions on our ingredients that must be slightly modified in order to proceed with our commercial launch in the US. This project will help us reach our commercialization targets in 2024.
Our team has produced a compelling prototype, photographs, and the product has good texture (empirically proven through TPA & rheology) as well as features that validate the key benefits of our production technology. However, additional R&D is required to make the product market-ready for customers. Significant amount of effort is required to fine-tune the product's organoleptic properties, measured both empirically and through our human taste test trials, identifying and addressing shortcomings related to taste and texture.
For the Level 3 action implementation, New School is seeking assistance to accelerate and take action on previously identified Level 2 IP strategy and development goals to help protect New School’s competitive advantage.

This project has the goal developing a prototype for its first product, a plant-based fish fillet with a similar texture and nutritional value to a conventional fillet. This will be done through a partnership with Ryerson University's Food laboratory. Success in this project will allow New School Foods to raise foreign investment, and produce a plan to scale up the prototype to launch a product to market and achieve first revenues.
