Moo free: commercialisation of non-animal casein protein
Mozzarella cheese manufacturer Leprino Foods and plant-based ingredient manufacturers Fooditive Group have announced a global partnership. This agreement will see the commercialisation of Fooditive’s non-animal casein protein.
Under the long-term licensing partnership terms, Leprino Foods will have exclusive worldwide rights to produce non-animal casein manufactured using Fooditive’s proprietary precision fermentation platform. Additionally, Leprino Foods will have exclusive worldwide rights to market and distribute for use in cheese and a non-exclusive worldwide licence to market and distribute for all other food applications.
The fermentation-derived non-animal casein protein is designed to mimic the functionalities and taste of traditional animal-derived casein, providing a sustainable and accessible alternative that meets both the food industry and consumer demands.
The product is suitable for applications where animal casein is typically used, including cheese, beverages, yoghurts, desserts, coffee creamers, snack bars, sports nutrition products and more.
