📢Big announcement! FeedKind has officially earned vegan accreditation by Swiss based V-label, an association that works under the support of the European Vegetarian Union.  This milestone marks a significant step forward for Calysta, unlocking the ability to produce a nutritious, vegan (non-GMO) protein ingredient for animals at our state-of-the-art fermentation platform in Chongqing – using absolutely no arable land in the process. FeedKind offers the perfect balance of a full amino acid profile, great taste, and eco-friendly production in a fermenter that ensures consistent quality and predictable year-round supply. It’s a game changer for feed and petfood manufacturers looking to meet the growing demand for sustainable, nutritional ingredients that pets love to eat.  FeedKind is now fully scaled for commercial production, and we couldn't be more excited about what this means for the future of pet nutrition. 

At Calysta, we're proud to be at the forefront of an exciting transformation in the food supply chain. Our goal? To use biomass fermentation to produce high-quality protein, providing an innovative solution to meet our planet's growing protein demand while combating greenhouse gas emissions. Our FeedKind protein has showcased exceptional results, with our first international export welcomed at our Europe warehouse in August 2024.  Read more from our CTO, Geoff Bryant: https://bit.ly/4heozVv

Exploring innovative ingredients is key to diversifying the pet food industry.    With an increasing demand for safe, nutritious, and eco-friendly proteins, the industry is turning to algae, insect proteins, cultivated meat, and single-cell proteins. But how do we differentiate these technologies? Are they safe and approved for pet food use?   Read more about our novel protein and from our Vice President of Commercial Development Herman Sloot on these issues and solutions for a sustainable future in pet food: https://bit.ly/4i8oDaa

📢Exciting news!   We have successfully shipped our first commercial batch of FeedKind Pet protein to Europe.   This non-GMO, plant-free protein, produced through fermentation, is now available to pet food manufacturers across Europe. 🐶   Herman Sloot, Vice President of Commercial Development at Calysta said:  “In the last decade, the number of pet-owning households has increased by approximately 20 million, with few indications it will slow any time soon. There is a growing appetite for high-quality, animal-free protein in pet diets, and pet parents want ingredients that will benefit their pet’s health in the long run. FeedKind Pet uniquely meets that demand.   “It’s a win-win for both the pet sector and the consumer, offering optimal benefits for pets, owners, and the planet.”
