Mozza Foods, Inc.

Mozza Foods, Inc. has raised $5.2M in total funding. The most recent round was Series A.

Mozza Foods, Inc. is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA.

Mozza Foods is developing real dairy casein grown in soybean plants. A drop-in ingredient for dairy manufacturers, produced through plant farming at scale.

Cow-derived casein, the protein that determines how cheese melts and holds structure, is expensive, resource-intensive, and hard to produce at scale.

Mozza produces micellar casein by engineering soybeans, supplying it as a drop-in ingredient dairy manufacturers can use in existing production lines and facilities without reformulation or new equipment.

Unlike precision-fermentation approaches that require building new factories, Mozza grows its casein through agriculture using existing large-scale soybean farming, harvesting, and logistics infrastructure, targeting cost parity with conventional casein.

Founded by Adam Tarshis, Mozza Foods uses molecular farming to engineer soybean plants that produce real dairy casein protein, targeting a commercial launch around 2028.
