(TheNewswire)Successful Bioreactor TransitionValidates Commercial Feasibility Using Pow.Bio’s AdvancedFermentation PlatformToronto, Ontario – May 30, 2025 –TheNewswire - CULT Food Science Corp. (“CULT” or the “Company”) CSE:CULT OTC:CULTF (FRA: LN00), a disruptive food technology investment platform focused onmaking investments to pioneer the commercialization of lab grown meatand cellular agriculture to reshape the global food industry,congratulates California Cultured on a significant milestone inscaling sustainable chocolate and coffee production.Key Takeaways:California Cultured successfully transitioned fromlab-scale shake flask experiments to precision-controlled bioreactorfermentation.The scale-up was executed at Pow.Bio’sFDA-registered, AI-enabled continuous fermentation facility inAlameda, California.This milestone validates the economic and technicalfeasibility of commercial-scale, cell-cultured cocoa production.The project focused on media optimization, oxygentransfer rates, and pH control to enhance cell growth and metaboliteproduction.California Cultured is now positioned to advance towardprocess validation, downstream processing, and sensorytrials.California Cultured recently announced it hassuccessfully completed the transition from benchtop experimentation tolarge-scale, food-grade biomanufacturing of cell-cultured cocoa, incollaboration with Pow.Bio, a leader in intelligent fermentationtechnology. The achievement represents a key inflection point for thecompany and for the broader category of sustainable chocolatealternatives.Working out of Pow.Bio’s newly commissioned 25,000sq. ft. facility—featuring clean room capabilities, dual-chambercontinuous fermentation systems, and real-time AI-based processcontrol—California Cultured optimized its cocoa fermentation processfor commercial volumes. Core development goals included boostingmetabolic efficiency, increasing flavonoid and lipid synthesis, andlowering cost per kilogram to enable scalable, cost-effectiveproduction.This collaboration not only validates CaliforniaCultured’s ability to produce consistent, clean, cell-cultured cocoaat scale, but also lays the foundation for future innovations,including continuous fermentation and commercial launch of cocoa andcoffee-based ingredients and products.Management CommentaryMitchell Scott, CEO of CULT Food Science, stated,"We are incredibly proud o...
