An Israeli food-tech startup, Finally Foods, has created the world’s first genetically engineered potatoes that produce real cow-milk protein. A breakthrough in dairy alternatives.
Next month, the company will begin its first field trial, growing these modified potatoes. Once harvested, the casein protein will be extracted to make cheese and dairy products with the same texture and properties as traditional milk.
Using AI-driven genetic engineering, the company developed this sustainable solution as an eco-friendly alternative to livestock-based dairy, which has a high environmental impact. Potatoes were chosen for their high yield, easy processing, and global availability, offering a scalable, cost-effective way to produce real dairy proteins without cows.

Yay’ish? If that gene goes wild and starts to spread in the regular potato population, how will this work for people with milk allergy?
But why? 🤦♀️
Tel Aviv University just found another treatment, possible cure, for several kinds of cancer.
Take your anti-Semitism and shove it.
Idk maybe I’m just a little too woo woo but something doesn’t sit well with me about this stuff. But I guess it beats animal cruelty.
Fuck Israel and anything associated with it
But.. We didn’t need more dairy protein to begin with…?
The hell they doing over there
Ethnic cleansing veganism delicious
Gross. No thank you
If it requires genocide it’s not vegan.
