Synthetic Dairy Could Eliminate Bacterial Contamination Risks
The push toward lab-grown milk—produced through precision fermentation—is gaining momentum as a way to bypass traditional bacterial contamination risks inherent in animal-sourced milk. Both whey and casein proteins are synthesized in controlled bioreactors, then combined with plant-based fats and water. Since the process is sterile, there’s no need for pasteurization, effectively eliminating pathogens like Listeria,…
