The Every Company's egg protein scale-up
The Every Company is manufacturing its animal-free egg white protein, OvoPro, at commercial scale at an ADM plant in Clinton, Iowa, the first US site running precision fermentation at this volume and only the company's second commercial-scale facility after Bulgaria. The Every Company says OvoPro will be priced at or below battery-caged egg costs, a claim not yet independently audited. This storyline tracks whether the Iowa plant hits scale and whether the cost claim holds up.

The Every Company will manufacture its animal-free egg white protein, OvoPro, at commercial scale at an ADM plant in Clinton, Iowa, the second commercial-scale OvoPro facility worldwide after Bulgaria. ADM VP for innovation Kris Lutt said expanding protein supply requires 'innovative new ingredient options.' OvoPro's 2026 order volume grew 550% over all of 2025 in the first four months of the year, and the product has a 24-month shelf-stable life against eggs' cold-chain requirement.
