SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 11, 2026--

TheEVERYCompany (“EVERY”), a biotechnology leader pioneering precision-fermented ingredients, is now supplying their flagship ingredient, OvoPro™, to Healthier Comforts, a DTC supplier of high-quality powdered pantry staples, designed to make home cooking effortless. This marks the first time EVERY’s egg white protein has been made available to consumers. Healthier Comforts’ new Animal-Free Egg White Protein Powder is now available on the Healthier Comforts website and Amazon in an 8 oz resealable bag, designed specifically for at-home cooking and baking.

EVERY and Healthier Comforts Founder Aaron Vander Heyden connected at IFT First in Chicago where Vander Heyden immediately recognized the potential to address a longstanding unmet need in the vegan community: a truly functional, vegan egg white replacement that performs in demanding applications like meringues, macarons, and angel food cake. Prior to this launch, EVERY’s ingredients were available exclusively to food and beverage manufacturers in bulk quantities. Healthier Comforts’ Animal-Free Egg White Protein Powder is the first consumer product to repack OvoPro™ in a retail-ready format, making EVERY’s egg white protein accessible to home cooks and bakers for the first time.

The product soft-launched on the Healthier Comforts website in December 2025 and quickly became the subject of enthusiastic discussion in vegan communities on Reddit, selling out shortly after. Early consumer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with customers noting that the product has allowed them to recreate countless beloved recipes—such as angel food cake—that had been off the table due to the lack of suitable vegan egg white alternatives.

“When we came across EVERY and their ingredients at IFT First in Chicago, we immediately realized that there was a huge opportunity to meet an unmet need for vegan consumers,” said Aaron Vander Heyden. “The introduction of this product has even exceeded our expectations and we’re looking forward to continuing to find new ways to bring this product to our consumers.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Healthier Comforts as the first to market with Animal-Free Egg White Protein in a pantry-friendly format,” said Corinn Williams, Director of Product Marketing at EVERY. “Healthier Comforts had the vision for making OvoPro™ accessible to home cooks, and we’ve been proud to help enable that. The consumer response reflects just how significant this gap has been for the vegan community.”

The Healthier Comforts partnership reflects EVERY’s evolution as a true ingredient supplier. Having demonstrated the versatility and performance of its proteins across a range of commercial applications—from pressed juice and baked goods to beverage alcohol—EVERY is now focused on expanding OvoPro™’s presence across more products and supply chains. OvoPro™ is already an ingredient in products sold at Walmart, Target, and Amazon, as well as at a growing number of regional bakeries. In 2026, EVERY’s focus is on increasing production capacity and helping customers future-proof their supply chains, meet cage-free commitments, stabilize costs, and improve their products.

Healthier Comforts’ Animal-Free Egg White Protein Powder is available at healthiercomforts.com and on Amazon.

WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s employers a delivered a surprising 115,000 new jobs last month despite an economic shock from the Iran war.

Hiring was better than the 65,000 forecasters had expected, though it decelerated from the 185,000 jobs created in March. The unemployment rate remained at a low 4.3%.

The Iran war has caused the biggest disruption of global oil supplies in history and sent average U.S. gasoline prices surging past $4.50 a gallon this week. But the conflict hasn’t done much damage to the American job market so far.

Healthcare added 37,000 jobs last month and retailers 22,000. However, manufacturers cut 2,000 jobs in April and have shed 66,000 jobs over the past year despite President Donald Trump’s protectionist policies aimed at creating factory jobs.

Labor Department revisions shaved 16,000 jobs from February and March payrolls.

Average hourly earnings rose 0.2% from March and 3.6% from April 2025, consistent with the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target.

Baby Boomer retirements and Trump’s immigration crackdown mean that fewer people are competing for work and that the economy doesn’t need to generate as many jobs as it used to.

Matthew Martin of Oxford Economics says the so-called break-even point — the number of new jobs required each month to keep the unemployment rate from rising — is now near zero. The jobless rate is expected, in fact, to have remained at a low 4.3% in April, according to FactSet.

After the U.S. and Israel launched their attacks Feb. 28, Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes. The disruption has caused a painful increase in the price of energy and led many economists to downgrade their estimates for global and U.S. economic growth.

But the fallout isn’t showing up yet in the U.S. job market.

Payroll processor ADP reported Wednesday that private employers added a solid 109,000 jobs in April. The ADP figure isn't a reliable guide to what the Labor Department will report Friday – but the pace of hiring it showed was the fastest since January 2025. And on Tuesday the Labor Department reported that a measure of gross hiring – before subtracting those who left or lost their jobs – was stronger in March than it had been in more than two years.

The economy is getting a boost from big tax refund checks this spring, arising from Trump’s tax cut legislation last year; the refunds allow consumers to spend more freely, giving companies an incentive to add workers in response to rising sales.

The job market is showing intermittent signs of recovery after a bleak 2025. Employers last year created just 9,700 jobs a month, fewest outside a recession year since 2002. High interest rates and uncertainty over Trump’s economic policies held back hiring.

There's been progress this year, but it's been uneven — strong growth (160,000 new jobs) in January, March (185,000) and April's 115,000 and one bad month (employers cut 156,000 jobs in February).

U.S. hiring, though, has been dominated by one industry: Healthcare companies, catering to an aging American population, have added 456,000 jobs over the past year; other employers have combined to cut 205,000 over the 12 months that ended in April.

The strong hiring data lands as U.S. corporations post solid quarterly performances to start the year.
