Now THEY'VE come for our chocolate!

Green Queen: Israeli Cell Ag Innovator Pluri Raises $6.5M, Announces Lab-Grown Cocoa Startup Acquisition. 

Israel’s Pluri has secured a $6.5M investment and entered the cell-based chocolate space with the impending purchase of a majority stake in Rehovot-based Kokomodo.

After innovating with cultivated meat and lab-grown coffee, Haifa-based firm Pluri is dipping into cell-based chocolate.

The cellular agriculture specialist has acquired at least 71% of fellow Israeli company Kokomodo, which makes cell-cultured cocoa, in a transaction with $4.5M.

Pluri is purchasing these shares from Chutzpah Holdings and Plantae, both of which are under the control of health and tech investor Alejandro Weinstein, who has concurrently poured $6.5M into Pluri’s business.

“Pluri has already demonstrated the great potential of cell-based technologies[.] 

Stem Cell Chocolate! Yum!

⏫ ⏫ WOW! A company that makes stem cell therapy for disease treatments AND makes fake chocolate? "Uh, is that batch for Cerebral Palsy stem cell therapy or the batch for Oreos?" "Duh, didn't I label it?"

Green Queen: With $750,000 in Funding, Kokomodo Emerges as Latest Cell-Based Chocolate Player. 

Kokomodo is the result of a joint venture between The Kitchen FoodTech Hub and Tel Aviv-based Plantae Bioscience, whose technology has been developed behind closed doors for the last two years. [Like Teh Coof "vaccine" ? -DD]  

Oreo, Mondelēz VC, Cadbury, Toblerone are all on board. 

Give it a few years and it'll likely suffer the same fate of lab grown meat. 

Full Blown BDS on this goyslop!
