CHICAGO —The EVERY Company, a bio-based protein ingredients business, announced a long-term strategic collaboration with ADM, a global provider of alternative protein and nutrition products and solutions, to commercially produce EVERY’s OvoPro solution at ADM’s Clinton, IA, facility.
OvoPro is an egg white protein that provides binding, gelling, foaming and whipping functionality. The clean-label ingredient is highly concentrated with no fat, no cholesterol and a PDCAAS of 1.0.
“The global surge in demand for protein fortification across almost all major food segments — especially in the US — requires incredible scale and reliability,” said Arturo Elizondo, founder and CEO of EVERY. “Our partnership with ADM enables both.”
The deal will leverage ADM’s fermentation capabilities and EVERY’s ingredient expertise to strengthen the global supply chain and provide formulators and R&D teams with an innovative protein solution.
“Traditional protein sources like eggs will always be a critically important part of diets around the world, but it’s also clear that the only way to meet the growing global demand for protein is to add innovative new ingredient options that can expand the supply of high-quality protein,” said Kris Lutt, ADM’s VP for innovation and growth.
