Nestlé To Develop Animal-Free Dairy Proteins
Food giant Nestlé has announced that it is exploring emerging technologies for the development of animal-free, protein-based dairy products. The company’s newly established US R+D Accelerator will pilot a new product from Perfect Day using protein made with a process termed precision fermentation.

The company will be able to transform its portfolio to provide food that’s good for people and the planet by investing in initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of dairy
The lactose-free protein is identical to the whey protein found in cow’s milk with good nutritional and functionality benefits and is suitable for vegans. The product was developed by Nestlé R&D teams in Switzerland, the food giant added. The US R+D Accelerator focuses on identifying opportunities and aims to bring highly differentiated product concepts to the market in as little as six months. The company will be able to transform its portfolio to provide food that’s good for people and the planet by investing in initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of dairy, launching more plant-based dairy alternatives and exploring emerging technologies for animal-free dairy proteins.
