"With the additional support of Dr Sarah Dodd, I am looking forward to continuing to innovate on pet foods using evidence-based practices to ensure proper nutrition and enjoyment for all pets with every food we make." CULT CEO Lejjy Gafour said.
With Dr Dodd's support, the company said it will continue to move forward on revolutionizing pet foods with cell-cultivated approaches to create nutritious, enjoyable, and sustainable food for pets.
"The prospect of working with CULT is very exciting to me. I truly expect cell-cultivated meats to contribute greatly to the future of pet foods, completely expanding the horizons of nutrient provision and changing the game for environmental, economical and social sustainability," Dr Dodd commented.
