Recently, Shanghai Changing Biotech Co.,Ltd. (Changing Bio) held a global product launch event at BEYOND Expo 2023 and won the Sustainability Innovation Award. The Expo was held at The Venetian Macao’s Convention and Exhibition Center with the theme of “Technology Redefined”. The expo focuses on demonstrations and discussions around three major areas: Sustainability, Healthcare, and ConsumerTech.
During the event, leading technology companies released their latest products. Changing Bio launched KluvyTM Protein and the Alternative Dairy Products For Professionals. This product series includes KluvyTM Protein ingredient and the innovative alternative dairy applications developed based on this ingredient including spreadable cheese and cheese powder, tailored to Chinese market. The alternative dairy products are released under the brand “ChangingPRO”, a sub-brand of Changing Bio. The product series is positioned as “future food, from nature”. It is derived from nature – the microorganism strain comes from the purest part of Shangri-La; it is also higher than nature – the core ingredient is produced through biotechnologies such as mutagenesis and directed evolution.
In the Beyond Awards Ceremony, Changing Bio is the only foodtech company awarded with the Sustainability Innovation Award. The selection criteria are primarily based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and Changing Bio contributes to Zero Hunger, Climate Action, Responsible Consumption and Production, etc.
On May 9th, at the Welcome Gala Dinner of Beyond Expo 2023, Changing Bio cooperated with the celebrity chef team of the Venetian Hotel to provide KluvyTM Protein vegan parmesan-style cheese powder with French fries to hundreds of guests. KluvyTM vegan cheese powder is one of the Alternative Dairy Products For Professionals. It is completely animal-free and clean-label, and suitable for ambient-temperature transportation and storage. Having mild cheesy, savory and nutty flavor, it is a perfect addition to any recipe and fits into China’s rising appetite on cheese flavor.
