August 29, 2022 - from the Phys.org:
"The global dairy industry is changing. Among the disruptions is competition from food alternatives not produced using animals—including potential challenges posed by synthetic milk.
"Synthetic milk does not require cows or other animals. It can have the same biochemical make up as animal milk, but is grown using an emerging biotechnology technique know as "precision fermentation" that produces biomass cultured from cells.
"Unlike synthetic meat—which can struggle to match the complexity and texture of animal meat—synthetic milk is touted as having the same taste, look and feel as normal dairy milk.
"Synthetic milk is not a sci-fi fantasy; it already exists. In the U.S., for example, the Perfect Day company supplies animal-free protein made from microflora, which is then used to make ice cream, protein powder and milk."
