InfoWars reports: Unlike other salmon alternatives, Wildtype’s salmon is grown in bioreactions using salmon cells.

As Hypefresh explains, “The process begins with cells extracted from living Pacific salmon. These cells are grown in large steel tanks similar to those used in brewing beer or kombucha. Fed a nutrient-rich mix of proteins, sugars, fats, salts, and essential minerals such as iron and zinc, the cells multiply under conditions that closely replicate a salmon’s natural environment. After harvesting, the salmon cells are blended with plant-based ingredients to form a sushi-grade ‘saku’ cut that is biologically indistinguishable from traditionally sourced salmon.”
Wildtype’s salmon product was first served at Kann, a restaurant in Portland, Oregon run by award-winning chef Gregory Gourdet, in May 2025.
It is now being served in three other restaurants in Texas, California and Washington.
Unlike lab-grown meats, which require FDA and USDA approval and regulation, lab-grown seafood falls exclusively under the jurisdiction of the FDA.
Wildtype’s cultivated salmon is said to offer all the benefits of eating wild salmon, without any of the known contaminants, such as heavy metals, associated with eating wild fish.
Wildtype is now the fourth US company to achieve FDA approval for lab-grown meat. Upside Foods and GOOD Meat gained approval for chicken products, and Mission Barns for a pork-fat product.
The company is now looking to expand to retail sales. It currently operates a pilot facility in San Francisco and has raised over $100 million to scale up its operations.
Seven states in the US have now banned lab-grown meat, starting with Florida.
At the end of June, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed Senate Bill 261, banning the manufacturing, processing, possession, distribution, and sale of “cell-cultured protein” products for human consumption.
The law goes into effect starting 1 September.
Indiana, Nebraska, Montana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida already passed similar laws.
In signing the Florida bill, Governor DeSantis said that his aim was to protect his state’s “vibrant agricultural industry” against globalist elites who want to blame traditional agriculture, especially livestock agriculture, for causing climate change.
