Bioreacted casein would be a HUGE leap for cow-free dairy. I remember when Perfect Day started up they were having too much trouble producing casein, so their products couldn't be used to make stringy or melty cheese.
As a former cheese addict who developed severe lactose intolerance, I'll just be waiting here for the synthetic cheese. (Please. I miss pain-free cheese so much ๐ญ)
Why not eat lactose free cheese?
Certain cheese (mainly hard cheese) is theoretically zero lactose due to fermentation using it up, but I find that even most hard cheeses give me a reaction.
I have a history of psychosomatic reactions to food, though. For example I couldn't eat beef, chicken, or pork for years after several food poisoning incidents in quick succession. Even though I knew the reaction was all in my head, the physical effects still happened. Super frustrating.
However I have had 2 incidents where I had GI symptoms occur after eating something containing dairy where I didn't know until I looked at the ingredients list, so I know it's not 100% in my head.
To my fellow LI sufferers I encourage you to experiment with hard cheeses, as there's plenty of people who have documented their success with those! :)
(Just do it on a day where you have a bathroom always available, lol.)
I'm not talking about hard cheese but cheese that specifically says "lactose free" in the packaging
Never actually seen any besides the cream cheese at Trader Joe's. Going to keep an eye out now
My wife has an anaphylactic allergy to whey. I guess we'll now be waiting for the day she has a reaction to "vegan" milk.
๐ฌ now that's a rough time. Perfect Day does disclaim milk allergenic on their website but I have no idea if they require their clients to include that on their consumer product packaging.
If it takes off it might still make it harder to find a decent dairy alternative for people with this kind of allergy.
this is why at the end of the day I hope we invent Star Trek replicators
and allergy cures
