Yes. Precision fermentation is a safe and proven technique that has been used in the food, pharmaceutical, and beauty industries for decades. Some common products that are made using precision fermentation include rennet (found in most store-bought cheese), insulin, and vitamin supplements (B2, B12, and C).

Final labeling decisions are made by our customers, but we recommend labeling OvoPro™ as “egg white protein (from fermentation),” “egg white protein (from yeast),” or “animal-free egg white protein.”

Our proteins are not cell-based. As the name suggests, cell-based products require a physical animal cell to grow protein. Our precision fermentation process does not use animal cells and instead taps into a DNA library, which contains the genetic codes necessary to make animal proteins – without the animal.

No, we create animal protein (without the animal) which is different from plant-based protein. Even though no animal is used or harmed in our precision fermentation process, the end result is bio-equivalent to a conventional chicken egg protein. 

Yes, our proteins and facilities are Kosher and Halal certified.

No, OvoPro™ is not suitable for those with egg allergies. 

Yes. OvoPro™ does not contain any animal inputs and is certified vegan by The Vegan Society. 

At our core, we are a B2B ingredient company. For now, we’re focused on making and scaling production of our powdered protein ingredients to supply our customers.

We make our protein using fermenters and yeast instead of factory farms and animals through a process called precision fermentation. Visit our What We Do page for more information.
