Quick Takeaways:
- Dutch pet-food brand HenArt has launched Levendo, a complete dog food for adult and senior dogs featuring fermented proteins and Enifer’s Pekilo mycoprotein. The gently baked formula provides all essential amino acids and naturally occurring beta-glucans.
- Formulated to FEDIAF guidelines, Levendo is available through HenArt’s online store and specialist distributors across Europe and the UK. The launch marks Pekilo’s first international consumer launch, with HenArt developing wet-food products using its TenderCraft technology.
- The launch follows canine feeding studies showing high digestibility and palatability. Meanwhile, Enifer is commissioning a 3,000-ton Pekilo factory ahead of planned full-scale production in 2027, supporting wider adoption of fermented proteins in everyday pet nutrition.
Why It Matters?
Levendo’s launch gives Enifer’s Pekilo mycoprotein its first international consumer-market foothold, positioning fermented protein as an alternative to conventional ingredients in premium dog food. Positive digestibility and palatability findings could support adoption, while Enifer’s planned 3,000-ton capacity and 2027 production target will test scalability, pricing competitiveness and sustained demand.
