Brown Foods, a startup company in Boston, is set to debut the world’s first lab-grown milk produced from a cow.
UnReal Milk replicates the nutrition, taste, and texture of traditional dairy milk, and it can be processed into butter, cheese, and even ice cream. Brown Foods claims this will cut carbon emissions by 82 percent, land use by 95 percent, and water use by 90 percent, according to Dairy Herd Management.
“Cattle farming depends on optimal climatic conditions, and milk production cannot be easily regulated— as seen during COVID-19, when supply chain disruptions made it impossible to simply pause milk production. UnReal Milk aims to address these challenges by providing a scalable, animal-free, and sustainable alternative, leveraging technology to offer a safer and more controllable dairy solution,” Sohail Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of Brown Foods, told Forbes.
