Amai Proteins announces a major regulatory milestone for sweelin, its flagship sweet protein, with approval from the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) for use as a sweetening agent in food and beverage products. Following the product's FDA GRAS approval in United States, this achievement marks its expansion into Asia and reinforces growing global regulatory momentum.
It is a next-generation sweet protein developed to significantly reduce sugar while replacing conventional sweeteners with a sweet protein that delivers clean taste, strong formulation performance, sustainability, and competitive pricing. Additionally, it can be labelled as ‘Serendipity Berry Sweet Protein’ in US, supporting consumer-friendly ingredient claims and aligning with the growing demand for Clean-Label and GLP-1-friendly products.
Singapore has established itself as a global Food Technology Innovation leader with programs including its ‘30 by 30’ initiative. These programmes aim to produce 30% of the country's nutritional needs locally by 2030. Advanced and sustainable food technologies and innovation, with Precision Fermentation and Alternative Proteins are key drivers of this strategy.
As a sweet protein produced via precision fermentation, it is strongly aligned with this strategic vision. With this SFA approval, it becomes the first precision fermentation-derived sweet protein approved in Singapore. Once the approval is officially published, Amai Proteins will be positioned to accelerate its commercial activities and expand engagement with food and beverage manufacturers across Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region.
Amir Guttman, CEO of Amai Proteins, said, "Receiving regulatory approval for sweelin in Singapore is a defining milestone for Amai Proteins. Singapore continues to demonstrate global leadership in food innovation through its forward-looking regulatory framework. We are honoured that sweelin is the first precision fermentation-derived sweet protein approved in this ecosystem. This approval validates our regulatory strategy and creates exciting opportunities for commercialisation throughout Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region."
