PoLoPo, an Israel-based foodtech startup, is developing plant-based technology to produce egg proteins using genetically engineered potatoes.

The startup recently completed its first field trial, producing five tons of protein-rich potatoes.

It is also generating several hundred grams of protein samples each month for initial collaborations with food companies.

The company aims to create a stable egg protein supply to mitigate disruptions like bird flu outbreaks.

PoLoPo plans to expand to the US, with its first US-based field trial set for 2026.
