May 28, 2024 from Kof-K:
Breyer's Lactose Free Plus Chocolate Animal-Free Frozen Dairy Dessert bears a Kof-K DE and a notice that it contains milk protein.
"Breyers partnered with Perfect Day to use their animal-free whey protein in their lactose-free ice cream. Perfect Day uses precision fermentation to create a highly functional whey protein that offers the same taste and texture as traditional whey protein but with a reduced environmental footprint. This innovation allows Breyers to maintain its signature creamy taste while catering to lactose intolerant consumers and reducing environmental impact .
"In light of the fact that they were able to copy of the Characteristics of whey so precisely it is unknown if the “imitation whey” will cause the same allergic reaction hence they adds the milk allergen warning. The non-animal whey protein is actually certified as Parve. The Breyers ND IC is certified as DE as it’s pasteurized on the same line as the dairy ice cream (after a CIP)
"Perfect Day's culture is STAR-K Pareve. It loses that status at intermediate or final stage plants (under different hechsherim) which propagate it on equipment shared with dairy."
