A company called Moolec has created transgenic soya beans called “Piggy Sooy” in which a quarter of the protein is pig protein rather than plant protein
Meat substitutes could be about to get a lot more meat-like. A UK-based company called Moolec says it has created genetically modified soya plants that produce beans in which a quarter of the soluble proteins are pig proteins. It has named its plant “Piggy Sooy”..
Lynas has argued that the “yuck factor” associated with transgenic plants – those whose DNA has been modified using genetic material from something else – is what“I really have no idea how this will land. It’s interesting that they have gone all-out for the ‘piggy’ thing – there is no attempt to sweeten the pill,” says Lynas. “Of course, scientifically it’s just a protein, and we already engineer lots of plants and microbes to make desirable proteins.
Moolec points out that 98 per cent of all soya grown in the US is genetically modified, and says the success of Impossible Foods shows that consumers aren’t deterred by genetically modified products.
