In 2014, bioengineer Ryan Pandya had a disappointing experience with a vegan cream cheese substitute. As a recent convert to veganism, he was struggling to give up dairy products. However, this encounter inspired him to create something new. Pandya went on to found Perfect Day, a company that is now leading a food revolution. Instead of using cows to produce milk, Perfect Day uses microorganisms that are genetically engineered to secrete milk proteins. These microorganisms are cultivated in a bioreactor, which serves as the company’s “farm”. The resulting milk proteins are identical to those found in traditional dairy milk, but are produced without the need for animals. Perfect Day’s innovative approach has the potential to disrupt the dairy industry and provide a sustainable, animal-free alternative to traditional milk. With its cutting-edge technology, the company is paving the way for a new era in food production.
Lab-created dairy products have become a reality, eliminating the need for cows to produce real milk.
