Many plant-based meats use minced formats and long ingredient lists, leaving a gap for scalable whole-cut alternatives with realistic fibres and cooking performance.
R&D Focus
Whole-cut plant meat and seafood, protein structuring, clean-label formulation, industrial processing, and large-scale manufacturing.
Innovative Solution
Umiami uses its proprietary Umisation process to structure plant proteins into whole-cut fillets intended to reproduce meat and fish fibres.
Solution Effectiveness
At the 2024 factory inauguration, the company and Bpifrance reported initial production capacity of 7,500 tonnes per year at a 14,000-square-metre facility.
Umiami is a French food-tech startup that develops plant-based food technology to reduce meat consumption. It also offers plant-based whole-cuts that contain plant proteins helping consumers to have alternatives that mimic the taste, texture, and smell of meat. The company was founded in 2020 and is based in Paris, France.
