Ever Wondered If You Could Find A Substitute For Eggs? A New 'Food-Tech' Start-Up Is Trying To Find A Substitute For Eggs

Eggs are something that a lot of us like, but what about the vegetarians and vegans who'd like to have an egg but can't? Worry no more, since a new food technology start-up plans to find a substitute for eggs.


The 'Hampton Creek Foods' is looking for plants that can replace chicken eggs in all recipes and has already launched its first product, which is an egg-free mayonnaise, now sold at Whole Foods Markets, News.co.au reported.

The San Francisco startup backed by Bill Gates said that they are looking for a replacement as the egg industry pollutes the environment, causes disease outbreaks and confines chickens to tiny spaces.
