The company is already reaching an international market, with its protein used in Hong Kong’s Ice Age ice creams, which taste similar to regular supermarket brands - and unlike some plant-based dairy alternatives, there’s no taste of coconut, banana, or other base flavors. In 2020, Perfect Day launched Brave Robot ice cream with The Urgent Company, and partnered with ice cream brands N!ck’s and Graeter’s to make its products available in 5000 stores across the United States.
By removing cows from the equation, the production of milk is “dramatically more efficient,” says Pandya, producing up to 97 per cent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional dairy. But as the process involves no animals, Pandya describes the product as “vegan-friendly”. Fermented fungiĪlthough Perfect Day’s protein contains no lactose, hormones or cholesterol, it isn’t suitable for people with a dairy allergy. “(It’s for) people who still love dairy, but want to feel better about it for themselves, for the planet, and for the animal,” says Pandya. When the fungus is grown in fermentation tanks, it produces whey protein, which is then filtered and dried into a powder used in products including cheese and ice cream - which are already on the shelves in the United States and Hong Kong. California-based Perfect Day uses fungi to make dairy protein that is ‘molecularly identical’ to the protein in cow’s milk.
Perfect Day has assembled the gene that codes for whey protein in cow’s milk, and introduced it into a fungus. that gives it incredible versatility and nutrition that is somehow missing from the plant-based milks,” says Pandya.
