Perfect Day founders Ryan Pandya, left, and Perumal Gandhi cracked the code on animal-free dairy proteins. In recent months, the company has doubled its production capability while significantly reducing costs several years ahead of expectations. The ingredients have gained regulatory approval and provide the taste and texture of dairy minus the lactose, cholesterol, hormones or antibiotics.Ĭrafting dairy proteins without cows requires less energy consumption, land usage, greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption, according to Perfect Day, which raised $300 million in venture capital funding over the past year to expand its processing technology. Perfect Day produces milk proteins by introducing the cow’s genetic code to microflora grown in large fermentation tanks. The pair co-founded Perfect Day, then called Muufri, in 2014. … The question from there was, is there a way to make the protein from milk without animals?”Īs he began pondering the question, he met Perumal Gandhi, a fellow scientist and struggling vegan with similar aspirations for developing animal-free dairy. “Essentially there had to be some component in cow’s milk that’s missing in almond milk or soy milk,” he said. Ryan Pandya, a newly vegan biological engineer with a cream cheese craving, tasted a plant-based schmear so awful, he began researching the functional properties of milk. The story of Perfect Day begins with a bad bagel. “We have to make sure that doing what’s better for the planet doesn’t come with sacrifice.” The moo-free milk men “We want to make the right thing the easy thing,” said Paul Shapiro, founder and chief executive officer of The Better Meat Co. The Better Meat Co., Sacramento, Calif., produces plant-based formulations that are blended with beef, pork, chicken or fish to create healthier, more sustainable products that score high in taste tests. Renewal Mill, Oakland, Calif., transforms the pulpy leftovers of soy and oat milk production into versatile, gluten-free flours that boost the fiber and protein content in a variety of consumer packaged goods applications. Perfect Day, Berkeley, Calif., produces animal-free milk proteins that provide the taste and texture of dairy without the environmental consequences of conventional animal agriculture.
