Remilk, first fermentation dairy product substitute
Remilk is Israeli’s first accredited precision fermentation Dairy product. The non-animal dairy milk has received certification from Israel’s Ministry of Health, a historic first for the nation’s emerging precision fermentation industry.
According to the Israeli Ministry of Health, Remilk, a company based in Rehovot, can now market its dairy products without using any animals. The permission comes after Remilk receIved regulatory approval from the Singapore Food Authority and, earlier 2023, issued “no question letter” from the U.S. FDA.
A crucial moment of animal free milk
Aviv Wolff, CEO and co-founder of Remilk, said in a statement that this is a watershed moment for the company as well as the entire global alternative protein market and the state of Israel, which was the first country to acknowledge the importance of precision fermentation.
Israel will be at the forefront of global food tech research and development as well as a leading market in the world for the consumption of new fodds once the market is opened to actual, animal-free dairy products.
According to Wolff, today’s new pave the way for the development of healthy and high quality dairy products without the use of animals. The number of businesses specialising in fermentation for substitute proteins increased to 136 2022.
The Good Food Institute, signals the impending growth in the precision fermentation market. The industry, which is growing in popularity for a variety of uses, primarily dairy, is situated between the two food technology extremes of manufactured from plants or fungi and cultivated or lab-grown.
For many years, traditional cheesemaking as well as the production of medications and vitamins have all used fermentation. Precision fermentation products, however, are ideal for anyone with dietary limitations or concerns because they are free of lactose, cholesterol, antibiotics, and growth hormones, unlike regular dairy.
Additionally, it is a much more sustainable method of producing dairy. California’s Perfect Day, the market leader in the category, claims that compared with traditional dairy, its milk can produce up to 90% fewer carbon emissions.
Worldwide distribution
Remilk is positoned for market dominance, just as Perfect Day. The business has already inked contracts with major participants in the international food market and raised more than $130 million.
With new approvals from Singapore and the U.S., the global market is now even more accessible. The U.S. FDA has solely sent “no question” letters to Remilk and the other two precision fermentation businesses.
Remilk will be able to compete with Perfect Day, which has agreements with food industry titans like Nestle, Mars, and General Mills who later gave Remilk that contract before abandoning the product entirely, with ease thanks to its finances and scalability.
Additionally, it outsources its technology and offers other labels its dairy-identical whey.
Remilk signed a significant commercial arrangement with the Central Bottling Company(CBC Group) 2022 to introduce a line of dairy products created with Remilk’s protein for the Israel market.
The CBC Group is the official Israel franchisee of Coca-Cola and one of the biggest food firms in Israel. Besides it is already producing industrial amounts of protein in facilities all over the world.
Dr. Ori Cohavi, Chief Technology Officer says the breakthrough success of the company’s R&D team is its ability to transform a technology that has been used for decades to produce components for the food industry, such as vitamins and enzymes in small quantities, into one of the most great and high-quality components.
According to Cohavi, the industrial production of milk protein enables us to essentially alter the dairy market’s appearance. Wolff says Remilk was destined to be global business, especially one that dared to upend the conventional dairy industry.
The Central Bottling Company’s upcoming product launch and the regulatory approval are just the beginning of an exciting journey ahead. Wolf describes the company’s vision of developing new food system that can offer wholesome and high quality solutions for the world’s expanding population.
