In a Step Towards Ending Cage Farmed Eggs, Hen-Free Real Egg Protein is Now Available Directly via Amazon and Walmart
Imagine you could make real eggs without Hens, not a plant alternative, the real thing. What was once science fiction is reality thanks to the technology of Precision Fermentation, a sister technology to lab grown meat. Hen-free egg white protein is now available for consumers to buy directly through major online retailers like Amazon and Walmart.
“Early consumer responses to the price have been largely positive, citing the small amount of product needed to replace a chicken egg white (just one tablespoon, meaning one bag equals 45 egg whites)”
Instead of using hens, microbes are programmed to produce the same egg proteins. It’s early days, but this will eventually end dependency on industrial caged-hen systems while improving supply stability during things like avian-flu outbreaks.
‘The firm has been focusing on OvoPro to tackle the egg shortage and rising prices in the US (in some states, a single egg set Americans back $1), pivoting its business model to become a B2B supplier.’
This cutting edge sector is moving fast: fellow Agronomics backed company Onego Bio is close behind, currently building out a factory intending to replace 6 million egg laying hens, and both companies have attracted massive investment from investors betting on the long-term shift toward animal-free, clean, ingredients.
