Danish biotech company Chromologics has raised €7 million from various investors, bringing its total capital to almost €20 million. The funding will be used to complete regulatory submissions for Natu.Red®, a natural, fermentation-derived vegan food colour, with the EFSA and FDA, as well as support product launch and production scale-up in collaboration with a CMO partner.

Natu.Red® is a heat- and pH-stable solution with a stable supply chain that has garnered interest from food manufacturers across Europe and the US. The company highlights the sustainability and consistent quality of fermented natural colours compared to those extracted from fruits and vegetables, with the ban of synthetic Red 3 in the US driving demand for natural alternatives. Chromologics aims to stabilize food supply chains through biomanufacturing, emphasizing the importance of patient investors in supporting innovation and technology development.
