Steakholder Foods launches Perfecta™ plant-based meat line at U.S. retail outlets

Steakholder Foods' U.S. retail debut

Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH) announced the launch of Perfecta™ Premium Plant-Based Meat at retail locations across the Northeastern United States on September 3, 2026, marking the brand's first commercial placement on U.S. store shelves. The company, based in Ness Ziona, Israel, describes itself as a global leader in 3D-printing technology for the production of whole cuts of plant-based meat. Distribution is being handled through KeHE Distributors, one of the nation's leading natural and specialty food distributors.

Product range and 3D-printing approach

The initial retail rollout includes a selection of five premium products: Plant-Based Marbled Steak, Plant-Based Filet Mignon, Plant-Based Chicken Breast, Plant-Based Salmon Patties, and Plant-Based White Fish Patties. According to the company, these products are developed using its proprietary 3D-printing production technology combined with premium ingredients, and feature tender, fibrous textures and marbling-like characteristics designed to replicate the sensory experience of conventional meat.

Leadership commentary and rollout strategy

"Our launch in the Northeastern United States represents an exciting step forward as Perfecta begins reaching consumers through retail shelves for the first time," said Arik Kaufman, Chief Executive Officer of Steakholder Foods. He added that the company is "on track with our launch, and the Northeast is just the beginning of our commercial journey," and that it intends to "expand both our retail footprint and our distribution network as consumer demand grows." The current launch strategy focuses on building awareness and consumer trial throughout the Northeast U.S. market.
