FDA Approval Paves the Way for Imagindairy's Animal-Free Dairy Proteins in the US
Israeli foodtech innovator, Imagindairy, has achieved a major milestone with the issuance of a “No Questions Letter” from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This official recognition signifies a groundbreaking step for Imagindairy as it now has the green light to introduce its animal-free dairy proteins to the American market, marking a significant advancement in sustainable protein production.
Imagindairy's animal-free dairy proteins not only replicate the taste, texture, functionality, and nutritional value of traditional cow's dairy proteins but also come with added benefits—they are cholesterol-free, lactose-free, and hormone-free. Leveraging over 15 years of AI research from Tel Aviv University and employing advanced biotechnological techniques, the company produces industrial-scale premium protein powder with remarkable cost-effectiveness.
Dr. Eyal Afergan, Co-Founder & CEO of Imagindairy, emphasized the FDA's recognition of the safety and quality of their high-quality dairy proteins, stating, “This approval reflects the FDA’s recognition of the safety of our high-quality dairy proteins. We are now positioned to offer this innovative ingredient to food companies, providing consumers with a dairy experience that doesn’t rely on traditional livestock.”
The production process not only ensures product quality but also aligns with a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to protein production. Imagindairy aims to contribute to a more sustainable future by significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, land and water use, and other environmental impacts associated with traditional dairy production.
Established in 2020 with the support of the Strauss Group and The Kitchen FoodTech Hub, Imagindairy has garnered support from notable investors. With over $30 million raised since its inception, the company is poised to make its mark in the American market. As Imagindairy prepares to collaborate with food brands, Dr. Afergan highlighted the significance of this FDA clearance, saying, “With this FDA clearance, we look forward to collaborating with food brands, to bring dairy staples like milk, cream cheese, ice cream, and yogurt to the market without compromising taste, price, or experience.” Get ready for a new era in dairy products that are not only delicious but also ethically and sustainably produced.
