The Better Meat Co. received a 'no questions' letter from the U.S. FDA for their 'Rhiza' mycoprotein, a protein-packed ingredient made from filamentous fungi that offers improved texture and nutrition attributes. Read more 👉 https://bit.ly/3WmZ4sW The company is currently supplying restaurants in Northern California with Rhiza-based meat products but said they will need further capital to commercially scale their biomass fermentation operations to be able to supply to major CPG brands. Funding and workforce constraints pose two of the biggest bottlenecks at the top of the funnel for scientific innovation and scaling. As more talent, research funding, and investments flow into alternative proteins, the growth of the entire sector will accelerate. For more on the manufacturing capacity landscape and scaling strategies for fermentation-derived protein, check out our report from June 2023: https://bit.ly/3zsw8qx.
