"Precision fermentation involves inserting a DNA sequence into microbes to teach them to produce specific molecules when fermented – in The Every Co’s case, these include proteins conventionally found in chicken eggs.

The company’s OvoPro ingredient can replace egg whites’ functionality in a range of applications, and OvoBoost is a highly soluble, taste- and texture-neutral protein equivalent to glycoprotein. In addition, it has developed an animal-free pepsin that acts as a digestive protein. Each has been approved for sale by the US Food and Drug Administration."

    NO! I will take no less than the original, incredible, editable egg. It’s a egg. Doesn’t try to be anything else but an egg, except that whole chicken thing that happens sometimes.

      This could be used in bulk in the manufacture of foods.

      Great futuristic way to get egg whites without the killing and ecological harm.
