What You Need to Know: Animal-Free Egg White Protein and Allergen Information

If it’s not from eggs, why does it have an egg allergy?

It's one of a consumer's most important questions, and we understand why it can be confusing: how can a product be completely vegan and animal-free, yet still be an egg allergen? It seems like a contradiction, but the explanation reveals the incredible science that makes this product possible.

First, it is important to confirm that the animal-free egg white protein is certified vegan by The Vegan Society (under the name EVERY OvoPro™). No animals are used at any point in the creation of this product.

However, the protein created through precision fermentation is bio-equivalent to the protein found in chicken eggs. Your body cannot tell the difference between the protein made through fermentation and the protein from a chicken.

The animal-free egg white protein is considered an egg allergen. Therefore, anyone with an egg allergy or sensitivity should not consume the animal-free egg white protein.
