Avant’s Zellulin Cell-Cultured Peptide Becomes First Non-Food Product to Earn C-Label Certification

Avant’s Zellulin® ZelluGEN has become the first non-food product to achieve the C-Label certification, a standard created by V-Label to ensure transparency and ethical practices in products derived from cellular agriculture. The multi-peptide complex, sourced from fish cells through cell cultivation, offers a cruelty-free and sustainable alternative to traditional peptides, showcasing the transformative potential of cellular agriculture beyond the food sector.

Developed using Avant’s patented Zellulin® BioPlatform, ZelluGEN is cultivated without the need for ocean harvesting, contributing to marine biodiversity preservation and aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14. The C-Label certification, which requires adherence to stringent criteria including animal-free media usage, ethical cell sourcing, and absence of GMOs and animal testing, marks a significant step towards applying ethical standards to all products derived from cellular agriculture and advancing innovations for a more compassionate and sustainable future.
