The Challenge

Traditional dairy is increasingly unsustainable. It consumes massive amounts of water and land, contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, and relies on animal exploitation.

Moreover, health risks like lactose intolerance, cholesterol, and hormonal contamination affect millions of consumers globally.

The UDairy Solution

UDairy decouples milk production from animals. By leveraging **precision fermentation**, we programme microflora to produce nature-identical casein and whey proteins. These are then mixed with plant-based fats and nutrients to create milk that looks, tastes, and cooks exactly like cow's milk — without the cow.

Why UDairy?

Animal-Free

Produces functional milk proteins using microbial fermentation without involving livestock.

Lactose-Free

Safe for the ≈65% of the global population that is lactose intolerant.

Sustainable

Uses ~99% less land and ~90% less water compared to traditional dairy farming.

Precision Fermentation

Replaces the cow with engineered ecosystem (genes → microorganisms → fermentation).

Healthier Profile

Free from cholesterol, saturated fats, hormones, and antibiotics found in cow milk.

Ethical Production

Eliminates animal exploitation while meeting global dairy demand.
