Cowless dairy

[petrea_mitchell]

I've been hearing about progress toward lab-cultivated meat for years, but here's the first I've heard of lab-cultivated dairy. "Precision dairy" uses bacteria to manufacture milk proteins, resulting in a powder which can be substituted for milk.

This alternate dairy is already free of lactose. I suppose the next step could be to try altering the whey protein to something that doesn't set off human immune systems that are already sensitized to it...
