Jerusalem : The Israeli government has issued its first marketing and sales license for milk and dairy products made with precision yeast. The Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) announced in a statement on Thursday that local food startup Remilk has received a license to market these everyday foods whose proteins are identical to real milk proteins.
Protein is combined with vitamins, minerals and non-animal fats to make dairy products including cheese, yogurt and ice cream. According to Remilk, this production process allows them to get rid of unwanted ingredients like cholesterol and lactose and free of growth hormones and antibiotics used in animal husbandry.
The process requires a fraction of the Earth’s resources compared to traditional dairy, while dramatically increasing production efficiency, the company said in a statement. “This is a historic day in the field of food technology, both in Israel and in the world,” said the IIA. The approval from the government is also a first and important milestone for the entire Israeli food-technology market.
