The Breyers animal-free frozen dairy dessert has been created in partnership between Perfect Day and Unilever as a lactose-free chocolate ice cream product. The treat features Perfect Day's dairy protein that's produced using a precision fermentation process, which results in it having the same taste, texture and function as the original. The frozen dessert is also has zero-grams of cholesterol in the formulation, while also being more eco-friendly thanks to its use of alternative protein rather than conventional dairy sources.
Perfect Day CEO TM Narayan spoke on the Breyers animal-free frozen dairy dessert saying, "We are thrilled to have developed this new product with Unilever, a hallmark example of how our second decade is focused on driving growth through collaboration with leading companies that share our mission of a kinder, greener tomorrow. We’re inspired to see that more companies are turning to precision fermentation as a no-compromise option to continue to maintain their leadership position as consumer demands evolve for the future of our planet.”
