The EVERY Company

The EVERY Company (Clara Foods prior to October 2021) is a FoodTech startup developing animal-free proteins using microbial fermentation with genetically modified yeast protein. The company had two commercialized ingredients—animal-free pepsin and EVERY Clearegg—while it debuted its third product, EVERY EggWhite , in March 2022.

In 2021, the company became the first in the world to develop animal-free pepsin for commercial use. Later in 2021, it unveiled EVERY Clearegg, a co-branded product with BioBrew, and claimed to be the world’s first animal-free egg protein . Clearegg is highly soluble, nearly invisible, and can be used to boost the nutritional profile of products marketed to food producers. In December 2023 , the company expanded its egg alternative range with the EVERY Egg, which is claimed to be the world's first liquid egg alternative made from precision fermented proteins.

EVERY’s products are sold globally by Ingredion, a leading ingredient provider serving customers in over 120 countries.

Key customers and partnerships

In April 2021, The EVERY Company partnered with BioBrew to scale its fermentation process. In May 2023, the company signed a joint development agreement with plant-based frozen meal developer Alpha Foods to collaborate on a new range of innovative alternative meat items. Later, in October 2023 , the company partnered with Grupo Nutresa, one of the largest Latin American processed food companies, to drive innovation-based growth in the alternative meat sector.

Funding and financials

In its latest funding round in December 2021 , the startup raised USD 175 million in a Series C co-led by McWin and Rage Capital, bringing the startup’s total funding to USD 233 million. The funds were expected to be used to scale production, commercialize its animal-free protein products, and expand into new food applications. In February 2023 , the company also received an undisclosed investment from renowned actress Anne Hathaway.
