Nutritious cell-based formula optimized for human performance replaces chicken egg

CULT Food Science portfolio company Fiction Foods launches proprietary cell-based performance scramble

17-Feb-2022 - Canada

CULT Food Science Corp, an innovative investment platform with an exclusive focus on clean, lab-grown food that is driving the development of novel technologies to provide a sustainable, environmental and ethical solution to the global crises of factory farming and aquaculture, announces that its portfolio company Fiction Foods, LLC has provided key operating results and a production forecast for the first half of 2022 related to its novel pipeline for its cellular agriculture products. In November 2021, CULT led the early-stage financing round for Fiction Foods.

Fiction Foods is a smart food design company founded by Brendan Brazier, co-founder of Vega, a pioneer in plant-based foods.

Fiction Foods' goal is to reinvent how nutrient-dense protein is produced, in a more efficient way that also has less impact on the environment. Vega was acquired by WhiteWave Foods Company in 2015 for $550 million, making it one of the most successful cash exits in the early years of the plant-based food industry. Mr. Brazier also co-developed Beyond Meat's Beast Burger, which was Beyond Meat's first burger to market in 2015.

To date, Fiction Foods has completed lab-scale formulation and prototype development for its flagship product, Performance Scramble. Performance Scramble is a nutrient-rich mental and physical performance enhancement liquid that can be used as a substitute for a chicken egg. Conventional uses include all the typical uses of chicken eggs. However, Performance Scramble's functional nutrients are designed to be superior to those of a chicken egg and can be produced at a fraction of the environmental cost. Some of the nutrient optimizations of Performance Scramble from Fiction Foods include:

15% more animal-grade protein than a chicken egg;
More DHA Omega-3 than salmon, to promote long-term brain health; - More zinc than oysters, to promote optimal metabolic function; - More probiotics than yogurt, to promote healthy gut flora; - More antioxidants than blueberries, to fight free radicals produced during exercise; - MCT oil, to promote improved cognitive performance; and - Beta-glucan, to boost the immune system.
Fiction Foods also said it is in the process of finalizing long-term ingredient supply and manufacturing agreements ahead of Performance Scramble's launch in the third quarter of 2022.
