BOB FoodTech

BOB FoodTech is a biotechnology company headquartered in Rehovot, Israel, founded in 2023. The company has developed a patented platform based on encapsulated RNA constructs designed to stabilize and deliver RNA for selective molecule binding. This technology enables the precise removal of small molecules such as toxins and metabolic byproducts from food, agricultural, and bioprocessing systems. Their approach is designed to be highly specific, allowing for the extraction of harmful compounds while preserving desired substances, and has been applied to streamline industrial processes.

For the cultivated meat and seafood industries, BOB FoodTech’s solution addresses one of the primary cost drivers of production: cell culture media. By utilizing their RNA-based technology to selectively remove metabolic toxins like lactate and ammonia from the growth media, the company enables the recycling of expensive media components. This process aims to enhance the sustainability and economic viability of cultivated protein production. The company is actively supported by partners such as EIT Food and leverages research from Tel Aviv University to drive innovation in food safety and resource efficiency.
