Milk without cows? Inside the science of lab-grown milk shaking dairy world

Starting early next year, Israelis will find a new kind of milk on their supermarket shelves – one made without cows. Remilk, a food-tech startup, announced it will begin selling its lab-produced milk made from dairy proteins through a partnership with Gad Dairies from next year, according to a report by The Times of Israel. 

The company claims its “cow-free” milk tastes exactly like the dairy one. From January, two variants: a 3 per cent fat milk and a vanilla-flavoured version will be available under the label New Milk. Both are lactose-free, cholesterol-free, and made without antibiotics or hormones. 

A separate ‘Barista’ line, meant for cafés and restaurants, will appear within days, the report said. 

Remilk’s founders say prices will be similar to other milk alternatives like soy or almond milk but unlike them, this one is “real” dairy. The only difference being that no cows will be involved. 

Remilk may enter US market

The launch comes more than two years after Israel’s health ministry approved Remilk’s products for sale, clearing the path for one of the world’s first large-scale rollouts of lab-grown milk. The company is also in talks to enter the US market.

Remilk isn’t alone in lab-grown dairy farming. Food giant Strauss Group has also launched cow-free drinks and cream cheese made using similar precision fermentation technology through another Israeli startup, Imagindairy. It’s the beginning of what some call a “post-cow era”, a shift that could transform the global dairy industry. 

What is lab-grown milk?

Lab-grown milk, sometimes called ‘animal-free dairy’, is real dairy produced without cows. Unlike almond, oat, or soy milk, which are plant-based substitutes, lab-grown milk contains actual milk proteins (casein and whey), identical to those found in cow’s milk. 

There are two main production methods: 

  • Mammary cell cultures: Cow mammary cells are grown in bioreactors that naturally produce milk.
  • Precision fermentation: Scientists insert milk-producing genes into microbes like yeast, which secrete milk proteins when fed sugar. These proteins are then blended with fats and carbohydrates to make milk.

The result then is dairy that looks, tastes, and behaves like the real thing despite it being completely grown in a lab. You can froth it for coffee, make cheese, or churn it into ice cream but without the environmental costs or ethical concerns of traditional dairy farming.

GREEN ARMY? Pentagon to Force Millions of Plant-Based Rations on U.S. Troops Beginning in 2027

The Department of Defense has announced that U.S. troops will soon be eating plant-based rations, a move being celebrated by left-wing activists and animal rights groups.

According to a press release from the organization Mercy for Animals, this “monumental shift” comes after years of lobbying from progressive lawmakers and advocacy groups.

Beginning in 2027, four of the 24 current military MRE (Meals, Ready-to-Eat) options will be replaced with fully plant-based versions.

The organization boasts that the change could result in over 6.5 million plant-based MREs distributed annually to service members.

The U.S. Army’s own website confirmed the changes in a September 22, 2025 report.

Julie Edwards, a senior food technologist at the Combat Feeding Division, revealed that the upcoming MRE 47, set for release in 2027, will include:

  • Fully plant-based entrees replacing the current vegetarian MREs
  • Plant-based “animal crackers,” protein bars, recovery bars, and fruit-flavored cereal

Mercy for Animals openly celebrated this as a cultural breakthrough, saying it represents “compassionate choices integrated into one of the world’s largest institutions.”

Smells Like Bureaucratic Overreach: FDA Greenlights Lab-Grown Salmon

In a move that reeks of bureaucratic overreach and questionable priorities, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has rubber-stamped Wildtype Inc.’s lab-grown salmon, the first of its kind approved for human consumption in the U.S.

Derived from mesenchymal lineage cells and mixed with plant-based goo to mimic sushi-grade saku cuts, this franken-fish is being hailed as a “sustainable” solution to overfishing. 

Meanwhile, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is shaking up the public health establishment, firing all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in a bid to root out conflicts of interest and restore trust in vaccine science. 

The contrast couldn’t be starker: one agency pushes untested biotech food on the public, while another tries to clean house of industry-aligned insiders. Welcome to the brave new world of “Gold Standards.”

Wildtype’s cultured salmon, approved in June 2025 under FDA consultation CCC 000005, is grown in bioreactors over four to six weeks, sidestepping nature’s blueprint for a lab-bred alternative.

Montana Joins Alabama, Florida, Nebraska Banning Sales of Fake Meat Products

A growing number of states are expressing no appetite for so-called “lab-grown meat,” with Montana now being the latest to ban the sale of food containing the product.

Montana Governor Greg Gianforte posted on X this week that by signing a state bill banning “cell-cultured edible product,” he was “proud to defend our way of life and hardworking Montana ranchers who produce the best beef in the world.”

Montana joins Alabama and Florida in banning lab grown meat, with Indiana’s governor also signing a measure this month that places a two-year moratorium on the sale of cultivated meat products in that state.

Nebraska lawmakers also passed a bill banning the distribution and sale of lab-grown meat Wednesday. It reportedly was drafted at the request of Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen, who is likely to sign it.

Tennessee and Arizona also considered such legislation last year but failed to pass their measures.

The new Montana law defines “cell-cultured edible product” as “the concept of meat.” It could include elements such as “muscle cells, fat cells, connective tissue, blood, and other components produced via cell culture, rather than from a whole slaughtered animal.”

Florida Becomes First State to Ban ‘Fake Meat’

Florida’s governor has signed a first-of-its-kind bill into law to officially ban lab-grown meat, in a bid to protect the Sunshine State’s cattle industry and its residents.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the legislation, SB1084, into law at a ceremony in Wauchula on May 1. The sweeping 81-page agricultural package officially bans “the manufacture for sale, sale, holding or offering for sale, or distribution of cultivated meat” in the Sunshine State.

The bill includes 22 additional measures, ranging from the preemption of federal regulations for electric vehicle stations in the state to a redefinition of the term. “hemp extract.” The ban does not include Impossible meat, which is a plant-based meat alternative.

Gov. DeSantis’ office said in a statement that Florida is “taking action to stop the World Economic Forum’s goal of forcing the world to eat lab-grown meat and insects.”

The World Economic Forum (WEF) describes insects as “an overlooked source of protein.”

Gov. DeSantis described the legislation as the state’s effort to push back against the plan by global elites to force the world to consume “meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals.”

Elitists Demonize Farming While Investing In Fake Food

The ruling class and elitists of the planet have been demonizing farming while investing heavily in the fake food industry. Already, most of the grocery stores in the United States are full of food-like products that erode the health of human beings, but it doesn’t seem like the sociopaths who wield power will stop until we are all sick from what we eat.

Of course, the sociopaths who want nothing more than to rule over us, make us sick, and sell us the cure are sure to point out that this is all the fault of “climate change”. At the Aspen Ideas Climate, Bezos Earth Fund vice chair Lauren Sánchez announced an initial $60 million commitment to establish Bezos Centres for Sustainable Protein as part of the Bezos Earth Fund’s $1 billion commitment to food transformation.

What exactly is “sustainable protein?” It is “plant-based lab-grown meats.”  So to is not food, but a creation made to mimic food that will probably give humans autoimmune or other chronic inflammatory conditions that they’ll “need” to treat with pharmaceutical drugs.
