Company profile
researched Aug 2026Mori develops a natural protective solution for food based on silk protein.

Products cited on the company's site range from fresh produce such as pineapples, arugula, and broccoli to almonds and packaged items such as gummies and donuts.
The company positions the technology as a way to make food more resilient, reducing waste while improving product quality and giving supply chains greater flexibility, including more efficient shipping and improved planning for grower-shippers.
