Grant Activity:
Delivering allergen safe eggs to those suffering severe egg allergies.
Purpose:
Egg allergy is a global food safety problem that impacts ~40 million children worldwide. It is incredibly challenging to avoid allergic reactions that could lead to illness or even death. To date, there exists no safe solution other than to try and avoid egg containing food. We will develop a new line of chickens where a key protein responsible for allergic reactions, ovomucoid, has been eliminated and develop processing methods that destroy the remaining allergens, making it safe for consumption by those with egg allergies. With funding from CRC-P, we will be able create a new segment in the $0.8B AU egg market, allowing translation into the $375.92B world egg market and allow manufacture, at scale, of this life changing product.
