Further Foods, a subsidiary of CULT Food Science, has filed two Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications to protect its innovative lab-grown meat technologies, Bmmune, Bflora, and the freeze-drying process used in its Noochies! product line. This will allow the company to secure its technologies in over 150 countries, supporting its aim to lead in cell-agriculture IP and technologies.
According to the company, Bmmune is a unique nutritional yeast blend that includes a bioactive fermentation product. This proprietary blend meets and exceeds the protein requirements of dogs and cats, providing essential B vitamins and all necessary amino acids. Additionally, the fermentation product acts as a prebiotic fiber, supporting immune defense, gut microbial health, and overall gut function.
Bflora is made of four strains of research-proven beneficial probiotic bacteria to help create and maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract for pets. The functionality of Bflora is aided through the digestive tract by our patent-pending high-protein yeast, Bmmune. This functional blend of probiotics is unique to the Noochies! brand of products, the world's first freeze-dried, high-protein, and nutrient-rich foods for dogs and cats that are made without factory farming, noted the company.
CULT Food Science's Noochies! brand said it uses Bmmune, which is rich in polyphenols, to promote gut health, reduce inflammation and fight oxidative stress. Bflora offers about 15.8 billion CFU/g of probiotics, supporting cats' and dogs' digestive and immune systems. Since 70% of a pet's immune system is in the gut, these benefits are crucial for their overall health.
"The patent applications protecting our Bmmune and Bflora technologies are a significant milestone for CULT," said Mitchell Scott, CEO of CULT Food Science. "They underscore the innovative nature of our Noochies! product line.
"Noochies! continued traction demonstrates that pet owners see nutritive benefits in avoiding animal byproducts and meats coming from dead, dying or diseased farmed animals," said Scott. "Pet foods that contain farmed animal meat have a heavy toll on the environment, estimated to emit as many as 64 million tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year."
According to Petfood Industry's Pet Food Product Database, CULT Food Science is a disruptive food technology platform pioneering the commercialization of lab grown meat and cellular agriculture to reshape the global food industry. CULT’s robust portfolio of investments in cutting-edge, venture-backed cellular agriculture and lab-grown meat companies provides widespread investor access to the future of food.
