Clean Food Group develops and manufactures functional oils and fats via its proprietary CLEAN OilCell™ fermentation platform, producing CLEAN Oil™ and CLEAN Fat™ from food waste feedstocks using scalable yeast strains. Founded in 2022 after eight years of research, CFG has validated its manufacturing process at scale and acquired a one million-litre fermentation facility in Knowsley, Liverpool in 2025. Its CleanOil™ 25 product received approval for use as a cosmetics ingredient in the UK, US and Europe in 2025. The company has strategic and industrial collaborations with leading FMCG and ingredients manufacturers, including Döhler Group, and reports a strong demand pipeline. The recent £4.5 million investment plus a £700,000 Innovate UK grant are intended to fund completion of the Knowsley scale-up, expand capacity and accelerate commercialisation of its products.
