The novel ingredient underwent significant internal and external review and safety testing. The FDA has been notified of the ingredient's self-affirmed GRAS status, the company said.
ImaginDairy is also opening a new and improved headquarters near Haifa. The space has been custom-designed to support the company in its next phase of growth with state-of-the-art laboratories for research and development of ingredient solutions, a test kitchen for culinary and ingredient applications testing, and its own fully operational pilot line that allows for testing in conditions similar to those in large scale fermentation processes.
The space will also serve as the company's new headquarters with a variety of
office spaces and shared workrooms.
