C.CULT | June 2, 2022

The Company's Latest Investment Aims to Support the Development of the Sustainable, Animal-Free Dairy Industry

VANCOUVER, BC, June 2, 2022 /CNW/ - CULT Food Science Corp. ("CULT" or the "Company") (CSE: CULT) (OTC: CULTF) (FRA: LN0), an innovative investment platform with an exclusive focus on cellular agriculture that is advancing the development of novel technologies to provide a sustainable, environmental, and ethical solution to the global factory farming and aquaculture crises, is pleased to announce that it has made an investment in Change Foods ("CF"). Described as a Australian-Californian venture, CF is a food-tech start-up in the growing field of animal-free dairy. It recently secured USD 12 million in a seed extension fundraising round, bringing its total seed funding to more than USD 15.3 million.

CF is striving to produce non-dairy cheese while using less water, energy and land. The venture is working to create real dairy food that is tasty, nourishing, and sustainable by using microbes instead of animals. Its process includes harnessing the power of microbes to create real dairy proteins, fats, and flavours through precision fermentation. Precision fermentation uses microbial hosts that work as cell factories to produce cheese without the need for dairy products.1 CF uses traditional cheesemaking techniques to create a cheese that tastes, stretches, and melts like cheese made of dairy. No animals are required, which is the main goal for CF in regard to developing a sustainable food system that is kind to people, animals and the planet.

Beef and dairy cattle account for about two-thirds of greenhouse-gas emissions from livestock around the world, and as protein demand surges the human population is expected to swell more than 20% to nearly 10 billion by 2050.2 CULT understands the significance of cellular agriculture on the future of the global food supply chain, including animal-free dairy production, and is encouraged that CF will work hard to see its strategy and vision through.
