These days, there are so many dairy alternatives to choose from — in most coffee shops, you can choose from a massive selection of milks, including: oat, almond, rice, soy, pea, pistachio, cashew, or walnut milk.
However, brands have started releasing plant-based animal-free dairy milks. Similar to lab-grown meat, they can’t be constituted as a milk alternative; however, they are free of animal byproducts, thanks to new scientific innovations.
“A new kind of milk will soon hit U.S. shelves but it isn’t some plant-based product designed to resemble dairy milk. Instead it is made from whey proteins produced by microflora engineered to spit out exactly the same proteins found in milk from a cow,” New Atlas writer, Rich Haridy, wrote of Betterland cow-free milk.
“Creating a cow-free whey protein is only the first step in the journey to getting novel animal-free dairy products to supermarket shelves.”
“Those with allergies to whey proteins are unfortunately out of luck because, since these proteins are exactly the same as what would be found in cow milk, they will likely still trigger allergic responses,” Haridy continued. “However, if you are a vegan, Perfect Day argues their whey protein technically is not an animal product and was created without harming any animals.”
