Cultivated Crustaceans - Shiok Meats

Food Meets Climate Podcast with Simon Newstead

In 2016 Sandhya Sriram made the leap from her job as a stem cell scientist into the realm of business development. Having previously co-founded two startups, in 2018 she co-founded and has been working full time on her newest venture Shiok Meats, a cultivated seafood company based in Singapore. In this week’s episode we explore why crustaceans and some of the technological differences between cultivating seafood compared to mammalian meats such as beef. We also discuss the startup’s encouraging research findings on consumer perceptions around the new technology and what this means moving forward, as well as how to find strength and support in moments of doubt and adversity.
