Israeli based Aleph Farms has taken a major step by submitting Thailand’s first-ever regulatory application for cell cultivated beef. The move, in partnership with Thai Union, could land Aleph Cuts - small, premium cultivated beef steaks called 'Petit Steak' onto the country’s dining plates by mid 2026.

Thailand, often called the "Kitchen of the World," imports most of its beef, making this development a potential game-changer. With its vibrant culinary culture and proactive approach to food innovation, the country is perfectly positioned to embrace lab-grown alternatives. Didier Toubia, Aleph Farms' CEO, highlights this saying, "Thailand is leading the way toward a sustainable food future."
The application has been filed with BIOTEC, the agency tasked by the Thai Food and Drug Administration to assess cultivated meat who will take 18 months to give the application the nod or not.
Aleph Farms and Thai Union aren’t stopping at regulatory approval; they’ve teamed up with bio-based manufacturer BBGI and Fermbox Bio to set up Thailand’s first cellular agriculture production facility. This would help scale up production and bring Aleph Cuts to more consumers across Southeast Asia.

Cell cultivated meat isn’t just about innovation - it’s about addressing global challenges. In regions like Asia, where rising demand for animal proteins collides with climate and land constraints, cultivated meat offers a sustainable and scalable solution.
As Aleph Farms continues to push boundaries, their Petit Steak could soon become a big deal in Thailand’s vibrant food scene, redefining what it means to eat sustainably.
