No. Axiom Foods has never conducted animal testing and has no knowledge of any third party testing our products on animals. We were founded on the belief that plant protein can match or exceed animal-based protein for human nutrition, and our long-term goal is to reduce reliance on animal protein entirely. Some of the certifications the largest food manufacturers require — including the FDA's GRAS designation — call for toxicological safety data, which we satisfy using existing published studies rather than commissioning new animal research. Any studies referenced predate Axiom and were never conducted using our products.
