- ADM and The Every Company team up to scale precision-fermented egg protein
ADM has partnered with precision-fermented egg protein producer The Every Company, responding to surging global demand for protein-fortified food and beverage products. The collaboration will see commercial-scale production of Every’s OvoPro Egg White Protein ingredient begin at ADM’s manufacturing facility in Clinton, Iowa, US. It will bring together ADM’s precision fermentation capabilities and Every’s expertise in creating functional, animal-free proteins using the company’s patented technology platform. OvoPro is a complete protein ingredient with a PDCAAS score of 1.0, performing across food and beverage applications as both a protein source and a functional ingredient solution. In addition to catering to demand for clean-label and high-protein product formulations, it can provide binding, gelling, foaming and whipping functions. This dual functionality enables OvoPro to offer structural integrity while increasing protein content. The ingredient also contains no fat or cholesterol, and is formulated to offer a neutral taste without the unwanted off-notes often associated with alternative protein ingredients. While eggs will always be “critically important” in diets around the world, said ADM’s Kris Lutt, innovative new ingredient solutions to expand the supply of high-quality protein will be essential to meet growing demand for diverse options that meet different consumers’ dietary needs. “Through this agreement with Every, we're strengthening the global protein supply chain while demonstrating how ADM's industry-leading precision fermentation capabilities can complement existing production, expand supply and help customers innovate,” Lutt said. “We look forward to working with Every and other partners as we continue investing in Clinton, advancing our precision fermentation capabilities and supporting innovation and value creation across the entire food supply, from farm to store shelf.” Arturo Elizondo, founder and CEO of Every, commented: “The global surge in demand for protein fortification across almost all major food segments – especially in the US – requires incredible scale and reliability. Our partnership with ADM enables both.” “For food formulators seeking to expand and strengthen their supply chains, OvoPro provides a reliable, price-stable protein that delivers functional performance and protein content – helping provide manufacturers with confidence in product quality, supply security and cost stability.” Top image: © The Every Company
