🌱 At Luyef Biotechnologies, we’ve always believed that the future of food must be animal friendly🐄❌, science-based 🔬, and transparent 🔍.
✨ Today, we take an important step in that direction.
🥩 Our precision fermentation-derived myoglobin is officially the first product in the world 🌍 to be F-Label certified ✅.
🏷️ This certification recognizes that our myoglobin, though bio-identical to the one found in cattle, is produced without using animals at any stage of the process. 🙅♂️🐄
🌐 The F-Label is the world’s first certification dedicated to precision fermentation and other innovative animal-free production technologies, such as Biomass Fermentation, Syngas Fermentation or Cell-Free Synthesis. This certification was launched by V-Label GmbH, an international organization based in Switzerland specializing in vegan and vegetarian certifications.
🔎While F-Label products are always animal-free, they are not necessarily “vegan” in the conventional sense—a term that can encompass various personal and ethical motivations, including concerns about animal welfare, environmental impact, and health. Instead, F-Label certification centers on production methods, ensuring no animals are used, even though the final product may be identical to those found in animal-derived foods.
👉This distinction is key for consumers who want clarity on whether a product is plant-like or animal-like by nature, helping them make informed choices that align with their values and dietary preferences.
🏆 Achieving the very first F-Label license for our myoglobin is a testament to our dedication to transparency, innovation, and meeting the highest standards of quality. We chose to work with F-Label because we believe in the need for clear, science-based certification that builds trust with consumers and industry partners alike. 🌍♻️
🤝 We’re proud to be the launch partner of F-Label, and we hope this certification will help more people understand what’s behind the next generation of food ingredients. 🌐🥬
🙏 Thanks to the F-Label team for setting a high bar and helping the industry move forward with rigor and transparency.
As always, thank you to all our investors, partners, and friends for believing in our work 💚
