The 2025 Food Ingredients Europe (FIE) exhibition was grandly held at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from December 2nd to 4th. As a bellwether event in the European food ingredients sector, this grand gathering attracted over 2,000 exhibiting companies from more than 120 countries and regions worldwide. Focusing on three core trends—health, sustainability, and functionality—it served as a premier global platform for technological exchange and business collaboration in the food industry. MoreMeat, China’s first mycoprotein company to simultaneously obtain US GRAS certification and Singapore market access, showcased its core ingredients tailored for the European market and customized solutions at the exhibition, demonstrating the innovative strength of China’s synthetic biotechnology to the global market.
Customized Ingredients + Scenario Application, Precisely Meeting European Market Demands
At this exhibition, under the theme “Mycoprotein Empowering Food Upgrades,” MoreMeat prominently showcased its patented filamentous mycoprotein ingredient derived from high-yield, stable next-generation Fusarium fermentation. This ingredient boasts a high protein content of 55% and offers a quadruple advantage: being cholesterol-free, low in saturated fat, gluten-free, and free from antibiotic residues. It not only fully complies with EU “clean label” regulatory requirements but also aligns with European consumers’ core demand for healthy food.
Addressing three hot application scenarios in Europe—plant-based meat products, functional meal replacements, and sports nutrition—the MoreMeat team on-site elucidated their full-chain service capabilities spanning from “strain exploration – high-throughput screening – intelligent fermentation production – customized food development.” Their developed mycoprotein solutions can effectively address industry pain points in plant-based products, such as coarse texture and single-nutrient profiles, attracting numerous food brand representatives from around the world for discussions.
At the exhibition, MoreMeat also presented two finished products: “High-Protein Fiber-Enriched Mycoprotein Meatballs” and “Mycoprotein Cocoa Cookies.” The mycoprotein meatballs received unanimous praise from European buyers for their firm texture and natural flavor comparable to animal meat. The mycoprotein cookies were favored by many visitors for their “low-fat, high-protein” profile without compromising their crispy texture.
Technology Endorsement + Industry Voice, Showcasing Chinese Enterprise Innovation Strength
Relying on its parent company’s global largest microbial strain library of over 350,000 strains and its independently developed DREAM high-throughput screening platform, MoreMeat has successfully cultivated more than 10 high-yield fungal strains suitable for large-scale production. Among them, the core strain has obtained US GRAS certification, earning international authoritative recognition for its safety. Furthermore, the land consumption for MoreMeat’s mycoprotein ingredient is only 1/60th of that required for traditional livestock farming, while water consumption and carbon emissions are reduced by over 90%. This fully aligns with Europe’s “sustainable supply chain” requirements, making MoreMeat a key target for numerous multinational companies seeking green partnerships.
Accelerating Global Expansion, Empowering Food Industry Upgrade From obtaining GRAS certification to debuting at the prestigious FIE exhibition
MoreMeat is using mycoprotein as a bridge to build deep connections between Chinese technology and the global market. This participation not only allowed European industry partners to directly experience the innovative achievements of China’s synthetic biotechnology but also confirmed the immense potential of mycoprotein as the “next-generation high-quality protein source.” It provides a new pathway for the global food system’s transition towards low-carbon and healthy alternatives.
Moving forward, MoreMeat will continue to focus on global market demands, further optimize fermentation processes, enhance the cost advantages and adaptability of its ingredients, steadily advance its global market layout, and inject new momentum into the global food industry upgrade with Chinese mycoprotein technology.
