Better Dairy, a UK-based start-up, is developing a cheese and yogurt alternative that is animal-free, healthier, and better for the environment. The company uses precision fermentation to produce animal-free casein, a key milk protein, which allows them to make a variety of dairy products without the need for cows. This technology can produce cheese that tastes, melts, and stretches just like traditional dairy cheese, but with a lower environmental impact. The company plans to sell its proteins to existing manufacturers, enabling them to produce an animal-free cheese that is identical to traditional dairy cheese. Better Dairy’s goal is to reduce the environmental impact of dairy production, which is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption. The company is currently producing its products at a lab scale and plans to increase production capacity and navigate regulatory approval in target markets, including the US. With approval expected by 2027 and 2028, Better Dairy aims to revolutionize the dairy industry and provide a more sustainable alternative for consumers.
UK start-up Better Dairy leads the charge in precision fermentation, revolutionizing the dairy industry with innovative, cow-free cheese alternatives.
