In California, Calysta and Marsapet have launched the first complete dog food featuring FeedKind Pet protein, a cultured protein fermented without using any arable land or animal ingredients.
Dubbed MicroBell, the dry kibble is a vegan, grain free, and gluten free pet food with all the necessary amino acids to keep dogs healthy. It is primarily comprised of sweet potatoes, peas, FeedKind protein, and potatoes, and is particularly well suited for dogs with allergies or sensitive stomachs.
“The high nutrient density, balanced amino acid profile, and attractive palatability of FeedKind Pet make it an excellent option for pet parents who want the nutrition usually available in animal protein, without the animal,” the companies said in a press statement.
Calysta said MicroBell would be the first of many pet foods with the FeedKind pet protein. “We look forward to seeing the ingredient used across all categories – dry and wet foods for both dogs and cats,” it said.
FeedKind is a cultured protein produced using a natural fermentation process. It’s made by fermenting land-free carbon, using no animal or plant ingredients. The nutritionally-rich protein uses little water in its production. Calysseo, Calysta’s JV with Adisseo, can produce 20,000 tonnes of FeedKind ingredients per year.
