A clean fish company has assembled what it describes as a ‘world class advisory board’ to assist in its mission to bring cellular seafood to market.
BlueNalu creates seafood from cells – which means its product isn’t vegan. But creating cellular – or clean – seafood is seen as a more sustainable and humane alternative to traditional fishing.
Advisory board
The board members come from a range of industries, non-profits, and academic backgrounds and hail from major multinational organizations including Cambell Soup Co, the Food Network, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation-USA, and Nestlé among others.
They will advise the San Diego based startup in matters including business and market development, science and technology, operations and commercialization, consumer marketing and communication, nutrition and regulatory affairs, product development and optimization, and environmental and sustainability impacts.
Ambitious mission
“With our extremely ambitious mission, it is essential that we have a global, diverse set of advisors providing us with their insights and expertise,” Lou Cooperhouse, Co-founder, President, and CEO of BlueNalu, said in a statement sent to Plant Based News.
“As eminent industry leaders with tremendous experience, these advisory board members are all very excited to join us, not only because of the potential of producing various species that we can bring cleanly into our food supply, but also because of the sheer scale and positive impact that BlueNalu can have on our planet’s health over time.”
