Kynda (formerly Keen 4 Greens), a German food tech startup, has begun the construction of a large-scale facility to produce mycoproteins in Hamburg, Germany. This facility will use its fermentation technology to transform food and agricultural waste into a mycoprotein within 48 hours.

The new 6,200 sq m facility will have two 720 sq m production halls and utilize Kynda’s plug-and-play bioreactors to produce 2,500 tons of Kynda Meat, its flagship mycoprotein ingredient, annually.

Analyst QuickTake: The company launched its flagship ingredient, Kynda Meat, in March 2024 . This product is exempt from EU novel foods regulations and claims to surpass traditional meat and plant-based options in terms of protein content (37% in dry matter), essential amino acids, fiber, and vitamin enhancement.
