Tetra Pak has partnered with Swan Neck Bio to simplify scaling opportunities for companies developing fermentation-derived food products, offering a turnkey solution for commercial fermentation processes. Swan Neck Bio’s DIRINOC technology provides a viable starter culture for direct inoculation, reducing contamination risks, waste, and costs while increasing profitability. By outsourcing the seed train, producers can begin trials without the need to propagate cultures on site, ultimately helping them de-risk development and reduce time to market.

The collaboration aims to unlock new efficiencies in fermentation, enabling producers to determine optimal equipment setups at pilot scale before committing to full production lines. This partnership between Tetra Pak and Swan Neck Bio offers speed, risk management, and flexibility for food producers, allowing them more time to focus on process optimization and product quality while expediting their journey to market.
