Clean Food Group (CFG), a UK company specializing in sustainable oils and fats through fermentation, has acquired the assets of Algal Omega 3 Ltd, increasing its fermentation capacity by one million litres. This acquisition also includes R&D facilities and potential for future expansion at a 12-acre site in Knowsley, Liverpool. CFG has already demonstrated commercial-scale production at the facility and is poised to become a leading manufacturer of sustainable oils and fats.

With access to microbial oils at a commercial scale, CFG aims to offer environmentally-friendly products at competitive prices in various markets. The company recently received regulatory approval for its cosmetic ingredient, CLEAN Oil 25, and has appointed Bill Thurston as Managing Director of the Knowsley facility. Thurston's extensive experience in oils and fats manufacturing will help establish the site as a global leader in sustainable alternatives to tropical oils, further propelling CFG's growth and success in the industry.
