In July 2026, FERMOTEIN® became the first whole-food mycelium ingredient authorised under the EU Novel Food Regulation. Proving the science took six years. Producing it reliably, efficiently and at industrial scale is the part still being figured out, and it is the part you would work on.

- Help with regulatory approvals of our novel food ingredients for human consumption in different regions around the world.
- Help with organising analyses and studies needed to obtain regulatory approval for markets we will be commercially active in, when necessary with different external parties.
- Help to make sure our ingredients, packaging and production are compliant with the relevant regulations.
- Communicate and collaborate with external Regulatory Affairs advisors with regard to ongoing approval procedures.
- Help with ad-hoc questions on labelling and nutritional claims.
Who we are looking for
- A Master of Science student in the field of Food Safety, Food Technology or Nutrition & Food Law or Regulatory Affairs.
- Knowledge in the field of alternative proteins is a plus.
- Able to interpret scientific and clinical data, written summaries of data reports, presentations, or publications.
- Fluent (written and spoken) in English.
- Able to work independently.
What we offer
- A dynamic, enthusiastic, and rapidly growing start-up work environment.
- Autonomy and flexibility in your work and work hours.
- Being part of a small team of professionals with a strong can-do mentality.
- An internship compensation.
