The launch follows Enifer’s completion of its first four-ton commercial production batch.
PEKILOPet mycoprotein is a nutrient-rich ingredient produced through a biomass fermentation process.
Self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status is a process where a food ingredient manufacturer independently determines that their ingredient is safe for its intended use, based on a scientific evaluation by their own expert panel and publicly available data, without requiring the FDA’s prior approval or notification.
This initiative marks the first time Enifer’s PEKILO® fermentation process will be deployed outside of Europe, and the first global use of corn ethanol-derived thin stillage as a feedstock for mycoprotein production.
The initiative is being run in collaboration with AAK, Bühler, Givaudan and Ingredion.
One waste stream. Three industries. And not enough to go around.
These findings provide a scientific basis for validating grass-finished beef labels and ensuring that consumers get the expected health benefits.
