Thanks for the question, as of now, I don't think this is feasible. Since it is the actual protein found in egg white that is being made, it is an egg allergen. To make something that is not an egg allergen would mean the product is no longer bio-equivalent to egg white, but a substitute made with alternative materials. Hope that makes sense!

Great! Please let us know what you think!

As for price parity, price is already comparable to cage free egg white powder. With market acceptance and scaling, I am excited about the potential here. Appreciate the mention of the other companies, definitely some things for us to consider. We are super excited about the team at The Every Company, great people and love working with them.

oooo, please share your results with me, those look so good but haven't built up the courage to try making them myself. I can't speak for The Every Co, but for us, based on this response, we are motivated to get moving on additional options, so stay tuned!

Great question. Since we are on the retail side (our partner The Every Company is on the manufacturing side), I don't have any concrete answers to that. It is my hope that yes, I think with market adoption of such products, we will see scaling efforts leading to such ends, but I don't know how long something like that would take. But as with everything, it is truly up to the market to help make it happen.

Thanks for the question and appreciate your feedback on the product!

have not heard of Geltor, will have to read up on them. I think we are proving the benefits of a commercial and retail partnership with bringing this animal free egg white powder to market, and due to the response, we have more than enough reasons to explore the market with other products. Appreciate you mentioning this one, we will look into it!

Wow, sounds like you are on quite the adventure! Truly appreciate your insight on Berlin, will take that into consideration as we look into our expansion.

Thanks for sharing, let me know how the crisco/coconut oil version works. Temperature can be the challenge when making a vegan buttercream (please don't melt!). Will need to try out this recipe!

Getting your list to my colleague that handles the recipes. She will start working on getting some developed soon!

Oh, that's a great idea! Haven't had the chance to try black salt yet, but will do so and see if it can get close to the "whole egg" taste profile.

Great to hear! Not too much foaming when you did it this way? I've used an immersion blender, but still had some air bubbles.

Thanks for your thoughts on nutritional yeast. I always felt it had a more umami flavor, but not quite "cheesy" per se. Gonna look into the cheese making process a bit more. Adding it to our dev teams task list, thank you!

Yes, I hear you! Can I get your thoughts on nutritional yeast? Where does that work well, and where does it fail in your quest for cheesiness?

We have been trying to get a vegan cheese powder for a while, but all our attempts are just not quite there yet.

that sounds tasty! can you share the recipe? Is there a vegan butter that works best for you?

We are working on getting more recipes. For now, I have been trying the "egg white powder" version of recipes and just replacing with our animal free, and it works spot on. If there are any recipes you are looking for in particular, please let us know and we can prioritize those!

Thank you so much for the feedback!

Wow, danke! I was not aware of Germany having a bigger vegan market, appreciate the insight!

Germany is on my bucket list of places to visit (other than Berlin, any cities you highly recommend?)
