The novelty is a partnership between the food startup Revo Foods (inventor of the product) and Mycorena, another startup involved in the development.
The idea is to create a more sustainable product, less harmful to the environment and that brings benefits similar to those of common meat.

O salmon vegan created by the partnership offers several attributes also found in the animal meat already offered. However, it is also a healthy alternative for vegans and people who cannot eat regular salmon.

Vegan salmon has protein and omega-3 levels similar to those present in fish sold in markets.
Furthermore, the new product contains vitamins A, B2, B12 and D2, replacing nutrients in a healthy way.
As if that weren't enough, the creation of fish through 3D printing emits 77% to 86% less carbon than normal salmon production. 3D production also uses 95% less water than animal production.
The companies, in partnership, worked to develop microproteins suitable for 3D printing. The formation of vegan salmon is carried out with filamentous fungi, coming very close to common food.
The product was named “THE FILET – Inspired By Salmon”. The company claims that this launch ushers in an era of “creative food revolution”. Thus, it provides the flavor and benefits of meat removed from fish in a much healthier and more sustainable way.
The project came about at a time when we are facing so-called overfishing. This is excessive fishing, which results in the removal of animals from nature in quantities greater than their reproduction speed.
Vegan salmon is a very intelligent solution to promote the fish population in a natural environment.
Food not only contributes to the lives of animals, but also reduces the problems generated by carbon emissions linked to the fishing process.
The company is seeking to increasingly improve the taste and benefits of 3D printed salmon meat. Therefore, it aims to please and attract both vegans and others to try and start consuming the food.
