'The EVERY Company,' the American biotechnology company founded in 2014, has debuted its proprietary animal-free egg whites in the United States. The egg whites are not available for general purchase and instead have been debuted as part of a special edition line of macaron treats. The EVERY Company partnered with 'Chantal Guillon,' a French bakery based in San Francisco, to launch the macaron line.
The EVERY Company's animal-free egg whites are created through a process that involves engineering yeast to produce proteins that are similar to those found in real chicken eggs. The resulting animal-free egg whites, according to The EVERY Company, function nearly identically to traditional eggs. These egg whites can be used in omelets, in baking, and in most recipes that call for eggs.
