PLMA 2025: Fungi Food taps mushrooms and sunflower protein for allergen-free vegan concepts
06 Jun 2025 | Fungi Food
Thomas Neuburger, CEO and founder of Fungi Food, talked to us about leveraging mushrooms’ umami taste and texture to create vegan concepts that mimic meat and appeal to both meat eaters and flexitarians. The protein in these products comes from sunflower protein, which Neuburger said is minimally processed and supports their clean label and allergy-friendly positioning.
