OvoPro is a precision-fermented ovalbumin ingredient made by engineered yeast—not a plant-based substitute or a complete egg. This review follows the science from gene design and fermentation through filtration, chromatography, drying, allergen labeling, and FDA’s GRAS response.

Researchers discovered that several important production traits—including egg weight and egg production—were influenced by parent-of-origin effects that conventional genetic models failed to detect. This review explains what the study found and why it matters to poultry genetics.
