CHICAGO and SAN FRANCISCO—ADM (NYSE: ADM), a global leader in innovative solutions from nature, and The EVERY Company (EVERY), a pioneer in bio-based protein ingredients, today announced a new collaboration to begin commercial scale production of EVERY's OvoPro™ at ADM's Clinton, Iowa facility. The partnership will leverage ADM's cutting-edge precision fermentation production capabilities and EVERY's expertise in crafting proteins for purpose using their patented process.

"Traditional protein sources like eggs will always be a critically important part of diets around the world, but it's also clear that the only way to meet the growing global demand for protein is to add innovative new ingredient options that can expand the supply of high-quality protein," said Kris Lutt, ADM's vice president for Innovation and Growth. "Through this agreement with EVERY, we're strengthening the global protein supply chain while demonstrating how ADM's industry-leading precision fermentation capabilities can complement existing production, expand supply and help customers innovate. We look forward to working with EVERY and other partners as we continue investing in Clinton, advancing our precision fermentation capabilities, and supporting innovation and value creation across the entire food supply, from farm to store shelf."

OvoPro™ is a high-quality protein ingredient that provides critical binding, gelling, foaming, and whipping functionality. Highly concentrated with no fat, no cholesterol, no off notes, and a PDCAAS of 1.0, this single, clean-label ingredient performs as both a functional powerhouse and a protein source. For formulators, this dual functionality is a meaningful advantage: OvoPro™ contributes structural integrity while increasing protein content.

"We're thrilled to work with ADM to significantly expand production of OvoPro™ to service our multinational customers," said EVERY founder and CEO Arturo Elizondo. "The global surge in demand for protein fortification across almost all major food segments – especially in the US – requires incredible scale and reliability. Our partnership with ADM enables both. For food formulators seeking to expand and strengthen their supply chains, OvoPro™ provides a reliable, price-stable protein that delivers functional performance and protein content – helping provide manufacturers with confidence in product quality, supply security, and cost stability."
