ScaleUp Bio secures permit for commercial food production facility

The facility will cover around 2,266 square metres.

Authorities have granted ScaleUp Bio a food manufacturing licence for its commercial pilot production facility in Tuas, western Singapore.

In a statement, the company said the facility will cover a footprint of around 2,266 square metres and will give food innovators access to up to 10,000 litres of fermentation and associated downstream processing capacity. 

ScaleUp Bio said it is now one of the CDMOs in the world approved as a food manufacturing facility.

“ScaleUp Bio’s value proposition offers anyone with the next best concept in food to bring that idea to reality, and to pilot stage commercial production in Singapore, backed by a blue-chip corporate ecosystem of support. With this milestone, we are moving one step forward towards enabling the next food revolution,” said ScaleUp Bio CEO Francisco Codoñer.

The new facility complements ScaleUp Bio’s Fermentation Joint Lab, the company said. This facility offers start-ups up to 100 litres of fermentation capacity in a dedicated food-grade, scientific research laboratory.
