Clara Foods™ is reimagining egg production. We join a new generation of entrepreneurs, activists and scientists who recognize that the decades-old factory farm model cannot sustain the dietary needs of 7 billion people and counting - and that technology may hold a solution.
We’re bringing an egg white to the table that is produced completely animal-free using fermentation technology, uses less land and water inputs, while matching the taste, nutritional value, and unique culinary properties of hen-borne egg whites.
