PEKILO®Pet

PEKILO®Pet mycoprotein is the dried whole biomass of the Paecilomyces variotii microfungus. Produced by upcycling carbon side streams, it offers an eco-friendly alternative for the pet food industry—delivering both nutrition and environmental impact reduction. Palatable and easy to digest, PEKILO®Pet has a high protein content (60%) alongside valuable functional compounds like fungal beta-glucans and naturally occurring polyamines. This unique nutritional profile empowers pet food brands to formulate innovative recipes with proven health benefits, while also aligning with growing consumer and corporate sustainability demands. With a remarkably low carbon footprint of just 0.93 kgCO2e per kilogram, PEKILO®Pet is produced year-round in fermentation tanks, requiring minimal land and water. Its origins trace back to the 1960s, and it has been used safely and successfully in animal feed in Finland for over 15 years.

PEKILO®Pet combines the best of both animal and plant proteins: a complete amino acid profile similar to meat, yet with a carbon footprint seven times lower than soy protein concentrate. Thanks to its functional nutrients—beta-glucans and naturally occurring polyamines—PEKILO®Pet is a true superfood that meets the health expectations of pet owners and the sustainability goals of companies. And it’s all made by upcycling carbon side streams. Good for your pet, good for the planet!
