PLANT BASED DAIRY ALTERNATIVES 2022
FOODITIVE
"First ever" vegan casein
Dutch plant-based ingredient manufacturer, Fooditive
Group, aims to change the opinion toward
GMO foods through its innovative ingredients. After
success with its upcycled natural sweetener, the
company is now expanding to animal-free dairy
proteins.
The key to producing Fooditive’s vegan casein was
to first understand the milk formula. This helped the
team to re-create an animal-free version of milk
casein, by using fermentation and ensuring that the
process will be scalable for the food industry.
Fooditive believes this ingredient will be a gamechanger
in the food industry because it supports
the next generation of milk while simultaneously
delivering great taste. The ingredient is also versatile
as it is suitable for a variety of applications
from dairy milk formulations to yoghurt, crèmes,
and cheeses to get the melting characteristics.

The ingredient will be the first vegan casein available for applications in the food industry, and there is already
an extensive list of food developers and food companies – some of them are big players in the dairy
industry – subscribed to test the ingredient in their products. Fooditive plans to debut the vegan casein in
2022 in the market.
