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 receive the C-Label certification, a standard created by V-Label to ensure transparency and ethical practices in products derived from cellular agriculture. This multi-peptide complex, derived from fish cells through cell cultivation, offers a cruelty-free and sustainable alternative to traditional peptides, positioning it as a groundbreaking development in the field. Its production method contributes to the preservation of marine biodiversity and aligns with global sustainability goals.

Developed using Avant’s patented Zellulin® BioPlatform, ZelluGEN marks an important step in expanding the scope of cellular agriculture beyond the food sector. The C-Label certification requires adherence to stringent criteria, including animal-free media, ethical cell sourcing, and the absence of GMOs, antibiotics, pathogens, and heavy metals. This certification represents a significant advancement in applying ethical standards to products in the growing field of cellular agriculture, moving towards a more compassionate and sustainable future according to Lubo Yotov, head of C-Label.
