Perfecta plant-based meat — the 3D-printed steak, filet mignon, chicken breast, and fish line from food-tech company Steakholder Foods — is now available on grocery shelves across the Northeastern United States for the first time, distributed through KeHE Distributors. Steakholder Foods announced the retail debut on September 3, 2026, marking Perfecta’s first appearance in physical stores after previously being available only through the brand’s own channels.
What Is the New Perfecta Plant-Based Meat Line?
Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH), an Israeli food-tech company known for its 3D bioprinting platform, said its Perfecta™ Premium Plant-Based Meat line is rolling out at retail outlets across the Northeast through a distribution agreement with KeHE Distributors, one of the largest grocery distributors in North America.
- The Perfecta lineup includes Plant-Based Marbled Steak, Filet Mignon, Chicken Breast, Salmon Patties, and White Fish Patties.
- Steakholder Foods uses 3D-printing technology to build the products layer by layer, aiming to replicate the marbling, texture, and bite of conventional meat and fish rather than relying on the extrusion methods common to most plant-based brands.
- This marks the company’s first commercial retail placement for Perfecta in the United States.
“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, CEO of Steakholder Foods, in the company’s official announcement.
Full details on the announcement are available in Steakholder Foods’ official GlobeNewswire release and on the company’s own site, steakholderfoods.com.

Is This Common?
Plant-based meat launches happen regularly, but most rely on extrusion technology — the method used by brands like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat. A 3D-printed plant-based line making its retail debut is less common; Steakholder Foods has spent several years developing 3D bioprinting for both cultivated and plant-based meat, and this is its first time putting that plant-based output directly into grocery stores rather than limited pilot programs or foodservice tastings. Whether the format expands beyond the Northeast will depend on how retailers and shoppers respond to this first wave.

What makes Perfecta different from other plant-based meat brands? Steakholder Foods says it uses 3D-printing technology to build the products, which it says allows for marbling and texture patterns that are harder to achieve with traditional extrusion-based plant-based meat manufacturing.
