From the biotech lab to chocolate production! Planet A Foods shares valuable insights into how NIPPON Genetics' Blue/Green LED technology is driving more sustainable chocolate production.

The innovative LED technology (using the new FastGene® FAS-X gel documentation system) improves the accuracy of DNA analysis during the fermentation of chocolate alternatives without use of cocoa.


The team at Planet A Foods wants to save 500 million tons of CO2/greenhouse gas equivalents every year by producing the world’s first 100% cocoa-free chocolate.

By avoiding UV radiation, the Blue/Green LED technology preserves DNA integrity, reduces environmental impact, and improves product quality, marking a step towards greener chocolate.

This is a good example of how the Blue/Green LED technology is making a real difference across industries.
