What ENOUGH does
ENOUGH (formerly 3F BIO) is a UK-headquartered food technology company that produces ABUNDA mycoprotein — a fermented fungal protein — through a proprietary zero-waste fermentation process in which fungi are fed naturally-occurring sugars in grains. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland, the company operates from four locations: its UK headquarters in Glasgow, an office in London, a Dutch operating entity (ENOUGH B.V., registered in Zoetermeer), and a 15,000 square metre flagship production facility in Sas van Gent, the Netherlands, co-located alongside a Cargill site. The firm employs 51-100 people and has raised over €95 million across six funding rounds between 2017 and 2024.
The company's core technology is a patented zero-waste fungal fermentation process yielding a whole-biomass mycoprotein with all nine essential amino acids, zinc, iron and fibre, and a fibrous meat-like texture. Documented efficiency claims versus beef are 97% lower feed use, 99% lower water use and 95% lower CO2 emissions; the company reports its process is 3-15x more feed-conversion-efficient than competing protein sources. Initial facility capacity is 10,000 tonnes per annum, with a stated ramp to 60,000 tonnes by 2027 and a long-term vision of 1 million tonnes of cumulative mycoprotein output by 2032-2033.
ENOUGH operates a B2B ingredient model, selling ABUNDA mycoprotein to food manufacturers, CPG companies and retailers for incorporation into burgers, chicken-style products, seafood alternatives, noodles and snacks. Pricing is negotiated through multi-year commercial agreements rather than publicly disclosed. Named enterprise customers are Unilever (including through The Vegetarian Butcher brand), Marks & Spencer, and Cargill; Cargill has also signed a commercial agreement to use and market ABUNDA, supplies feedstock and utilities to the Sas van Gent site, and has participated in multiple funding rounds. Distribution is therefore split between direct B2B sales and Cargill's global ingredient network.

ENOUGH competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Quorn: Quorn is the incumbent mycoprotein producer with decades of brand equity and global retail distribution. It is the most directly comparable peer to ENOUGH's ABUNDA, producing fungal-fermented protein for meat alternative applications and competing for the same CPG and retail customers.
- Nature's Fynd: Nature's Fynd produces fungal protein (Fy) using biomass fermentation from a strain originally found in Yellowstone. It is a direct mycoprotein peer competing for the same B2B ingredient customers in the alternative protein category.
- The Better Meat Co. The Better Meat Co. produces a mycoprotein ingredient via fungal fermentation for use in hybrid and plant-based meat products. It is a fellow founding member of the Fungi Protein Association and a direct ingredient peer to ENOUGH in the mycoprotein category.
Emerging players
- Mycorena: Mycorena is a Swedish food tech company producing mycoprotein via fungal fermentation (Promyc). It is an emerging mycoprotein peer focused on the European market, with a smaller commercial scale than ENOUGH.
- Prime Roots: Prime Roots produces mycelium-based whole-cut meat alternatives using fungal biomass fermentation. It is an emerging direct peer in the fungal protein category, focused on deli slices, jerky, and other whole-cut applications.
- The Protein Brewery: The Protein Brewery produces fungal fermentation-derived protein (FUMI) for food applications. It is an emerging direct peer with overlapping technology and target customers in the alternative protein B2B space.
- MycoTechnology: MycoTechnology uses fungal fermentation platforms to create food ingredients, including mycelium-based protein and flavor-masking solutions. It is a fellow Fungi Protein Association member and an emerging peer with related fermentation technology.
- Meati Foods: Meati produces whole-food protein from mushroom root (mycelium) for plant-based meat alternatives. It is an emerging peer in the mycelium/fungal protein category, competing for consumer-facing shelf space and B2B ingredient partnerships.
Broad incumbents
- Beyond Meat: Beyond Meat is the largest publicly-traded plant-based meat alternative company. While it uses pea protein rather than mycoprotein, it is the dominant incumbent in the broader alternative protein category that ENOUGH's customers compete within at retail.
- Impossible Foods: Impossible Foods produces plant-based meat alternatives using soy protein and heme. As a broad incumbent in the alternative protein category, it competes for the same foodservice and retail customers that ENOUGH's CPG partners serve.
