Despite having experienced significant stressors, consumers continue to want to know more about how food is grown and sourced versus less,” says Michele Murray, senior vice president, Ketchum Food Agriculture & Ingredient, San Francisco. “Our latest study is about how consumers, post-COVID and supply chain disruptions and inflation, feel about topics like sustainability and transparency. Research has shown that young consumers are more willing to try food produced through modern technologies such as bioengineering. Insulin for diabetics, chymosin for cheesemaking, enzymes, flavoring agents and vitamins are all produced via precise fermentation. The futureīioengineering is not unique to dairy. Bioengineered dairy proteins are also found in barista milks, coffee creamers, Bored Cow flavored milks, Betterland Cow-Free Milk and Strive FREEMILK. uses Perfect Day proteins in their sports nutrition powders, as does Natreve’s MOOLESS, and Myprotein’s Whey Forward line.
It recently introduced BOLD C uLTR cream cheese utilizing Perfect Day proteins.Ĭalifornia Performance Co.
Perhaps the biggest potential player in bioengineered dairy is Minneapolis-based General Mills. Based on a new partnership with Mars Foods, Perfect Day and Mars are teaming up to manufacture a new CO2COA bar. In fact, Perfect Day’s whey proteins can be found in Brave Robot and Nick’s Ice Cream. While some bioengineered dairy companies are producing end products, others are producing ingredients that are sold for a wide array of dairy foods. Two companies based in Israel, Remilk and Imagindairy, have also entered the bioengineered milk arena. The product contains more of the beneficial fats and proteins that are normally found only in human breast milk. The company collects cells from human breast milk and breast tissue, to produce a lab grown alternative to baby formula. The process is FDA-approved, clearing the way for Opalia’s cell-based milk to have regulatory approval,” its says.Ī North Carolina-based mammary biotechnology company, Biomilq, Inc., is producing an imitation of human breast milk. The company uses “enhanced mammary epithelial cells that grow and lactate inside a bioreactor that replicates the in vivo environment of the cow udder. Montreal-based Opalia found a way to manufacture the functional components of traditional dairy without involving any animals.
