CVD CORP CO., LTD.
MUU is a food biotechnology startup that uses precision fermentation technology and proprietary microbes to create milk and dairy products that offer the same taste, texture, and properties as cow’s dairy, but are made without using a single cow.
As global food security and sustainability challenges escalate, traditional dairy production is one of the major cause. Although plant-based dairy alternatives exist, their taste dfferences hinder broad adoption from consumers. To overcome this challenge, we use precision fermentation and proprietary microbes to create milk proteins, the keys for replicating the taste and texture of cow’s dairy. This way we can create milk and dairy products that mimic the taste and mouthfeel of traditional dairy, making it effortless for consumers to transition to more sustainable options. Our products also promote health attributes as they are free of hormones, antibiotics residue, cholesterol, and lactose.
We target ASEAN+3 countries, covering Southeast Asia and Japan, Korea, China. Our business model is selling products to B2B partners including dairy producers, F&B manufacturers, and cafes & restaurants. So far, we have over 15 companies across Asia request for product trials.
