About Yali Bio
Yali Bio harnesses the power of synthetic biology to lower your carbon footprint and your cholesterol without sacrificing the taste, texture, and culture of our richest food ingredient: fat.
We believe the future of ingredient design has a zero-tradeoffs mindset. The world is overdue for a more climate-friendly and nutrition-forward food paradigm, and we all know margarine isn’t butter. Our proprietary designer fats platform (YaliOS) leverages precision fermentation to make the most essential ingredient when it comes to taste and texture. And that’s why we’re working with industry leaders in the most craveable product categories such as luscious desserts, buttery baked goods, creamy cheeses, and more.
By utilizing renewable feedstocks, we can impactfully cut the carbon footprint of our ingredients compared to those that come from traditional land-based agriculture practices. With other mission-driven partners in food production and manufacturing, we are building a better, tastier, and healthier world.
