Just is a Silicon Valley food-tech and food-manufacturing company that aims to reduce animal suffering and the carbon footprint of animal-farming industries by producing plant-based alternatives to egg-based products. Just, Inc. started its venture with a vegan, mayonnaise substitute, called Just Mayo, aimed to disrupt the egg industry, which sued the company for labeling the product as “mayo” while being egg-less. Since the successful release of Just Mayo, the company has expanded its product portfolio to include dressing, cookie dough, and cookies, and more. It’s brave new venture: cultured meat. You can find Just products, especially its plant-based mayo, at almost any major grocery store. It says that its products have displaced enough egg purchases to have spared a few million hens the misery of battery cage confinement.
