Fake milk is real news, as synthetic alternatives threaten traditional dairy farms

Older question "Milk is found?" These days have a complex answer, because it depends on all "milk."

Users soon had to face confusion in the dairy street because they wonder that the milk they drink, came from the cow or made in the lab.

Perfect Day Foods is a company that makes alternative artificial milk. It is like milk that contains this case and holiday, protein found in milk. However, a cow was never used to produce these products. Instead, animal-made dairy products are made in laboratory using a genetically engineered yeast program that is found in cow milk with DNA.

On the basis of the Silicon Valley, the perfect day foods say it is environmentally healthy and healthy because of lactose-free, hormone-free, anti-biotech-free, gluten-free and cholesterol-free. The claim of the company also claims that milk products are more like a taste instead of other types of milk. Plus, according to the initial report of the West University of West University, its overall environmental impact is much less than the fully prepared milk.

Although some alternative users coming into the market can be encouraged, not the dairy farmers. Many small milk farmers are worried that this new "counterfeit milk" will confuse consumers and drive them out of business because they already eliminate avoiding getting out of milk, plant-based dairy alternatives and Industrial aggression increases.

According to a report by Mintel, the American dairy industry has been under pressure very recently, facing a decline from 2014, which continues till 2020. Consequently, dairy farms have been closed in record numbers. According to the US Department of Agriculture, there were about 650,000 dairy forms in the United States in 1970, but at the end of 2017 only 40,219 will remain.

Mike Abbey, chairman of the National Dairy Producer Organization, and the seventh-generation dairy farmer, was forced to sell a 60-year-old milk cow twice a year ago, because she could not compete with corporate agriculture like many others. She is worried that the perfect day's product is similar to the milk structure that makes her milk like milk and can be labeled, which makes it difficult for users to decide.

"If [processors] are able to consider the perfect day as a milk, they can use the perfect day to make cream or yogurt or cheese," he said. "And the worst part about it would be that it will not be labeled." No one knows the difference and they actually claim that there is no scientific difference. "

At present, the administration of food and drug allows almond milk, soy milk and rice milk equipments to label their products as "milk." In countries such as England and Canada, where they are more protective to dairy farming, these plants are not allowed to use the word "milk" word and they should use alternative drinks like "drinks" or "drink". Many American Dairy Farmers are fighting DADI as "Milk Testimonials" Milk definitions "full" one or more healthy cowboys milk. "FDA has been praised, historically he did not enforce it.

"It seems that the FDA is not a very friendly friend; they are more processor friendly," said Abbey. "If history is our leader, it seems far more than they did not take proper care of 'milk' and allowed them to exploit. So why does someone feel that it is different?"
