Cult Food Science Announces Noochies! Brand Launch and Commercialization Outlook

CULT Food Science Corp., a pioneer in the investment, development and commercialization of cellular agriculture technologies and products, is pleased to announce the public debut of the Noochies! brand, packaging and website.

Noochies! products offer the world’s first freeze dried, high protein cultured pet foods. The vet-formulated foods are made with unique, nutrient-rich ingredients designed to benefit immunity, digestion and the overall health of dogs and cats. Our patent-pending freeze dry process avoids nutrient degradation in the extrusion process and helps keep proteins bioavailable for better absorption. Freeze dried foods are among the most sought-after formats of premium pet food today.

The Noochies! website features in-depth product information and offers interested consumers and retailers the ability to gain first access to Noochies! when they are available for order.

Noochies!’ projects its first products being available in Q3 2023, with an initial focus on direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales in the United States, followed by online marketplace partnerships and pursuing in-store sales in the influential California market.

Noochies! products contain Bmmune, a patent-pending animal-free ingredient that delivers high quality and sustainable proteins with nutrient specifications similar to conventional meat. Bmmune™ has been shown to provide health benefits to pets, including improved digestion, gut health, immune system support and general cognitive, arterial and heart health.

In addition, Noochies! has formulated its own probiotic, Bflora, designed specifically for the gastrointestinal system of dogs and cats. Bflora is a blend of four bacterial strains of healthy gut bacteria paired with a probiotic yeast for optimal gut health effect in our pets.

Dinner and Breakfast Food

Noochies! Dinner and Breakfast foods are a nutritionally complete diet with immune system benefits and savory flavor that’s 100 percent meat-free. The star ingredient in both Breakfast and Dinner foods is Bmmune, our proprietary blend of cultured nutritional yeast. Packed with bioavailable protein, immune-supporting B vitamins and a taste omnivore dogs love!

Dog and Cat Treats

Take koji, an ancient cultured protein with an irresistible savory flavor. Blend it with a high-protein strain of nutritional yeast. Then freeze dry it to lock in nutrition, taste and aroma. And what do you get? A whole new take on treats! Packed with essential B vitamins and high in protein, these super savory morsels are great for immune, digestive and heart health, while their super-savory taste makes them perfect for training or treating.

Supplements

Noochies! supplements, called Sprinkles, are premium supplements made with super-functional ingredients missing from even the healthiest pet food brands. And Noochies! is the only brand to feature Bmmune, our high protein blend of nutritional yeast to benefit digestion, immunity and more and Bflora, our exclusive, research-proven, probiotic blend designed specifically for cats and dogs. Add a sprinkle a day to your pet’s food and get ready for all the positive feedback to pour in.

With the launch of these products, Noochies! Cultivated Pet Food is elevating the sustainable pet nutrition category. Relying on rigorous research and development, the Company has created nutrient-rich, safe and environmentally friendly ingredients that are freeze dried into ultra-premium pet products – automatically making Noochies! a market leader in quality, sustainable pet nutrition.
