Protein-containing compositions
The present disclosure provides a composition comprising, (i) protein at a protein content of at least about 16% by dry weight, wherein at least about 50% by dry weight of the protein has an amino acid sequence encoded by one or more fungal genomes, and (ii) one or more materials selected from the group consisting of a flour, an oil, a flavoring agent, and a nutritional supplement, wherein the composition has a water content that is less than or equal to about 30% water by weight.
1. A composition comprising:
(a) a total protein content of at least 16% by dry weight;
(b) at least 20% by dry weight intact fungal cells;
(c) synthetically grown whole non-human animal cells, wherein the synthetically grown whole non-human animal cells do not comprise flesh;
(d) between 20% and 70% plant-derived flour; and
(e) between 3% and 15% of an oil comprising an algal oil.
2. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising:
(f) iron-complexing molecules in amount greater than or equal to 0.05%.
3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the iron-complexing molecule comprises a porphyrin.
4. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the iron-complexing molecule comprises heme.
5. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the iron-complexing molecule comprises a heme-containing protein.

10. The composition of claim 1 , comprising a water content of less than or equal to 15%.
11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition does not contain an animal product selected from the group consisting of blood, milk, eggs, connective tissue, fats, and oils.
12. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a flavoring agent.
13. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a nutritional supplement.
14. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the protein comprises plant-sourced protein.
15. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a flour, a vegetable oil, a flavoring agent and a nutritional supplement.
