An Israeli food-tech company, Imagindairy, received approval from the Health Ministry to market its products throughout the country, the company recently announced.
Imagindairy, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Haifa, produces sustainable, animal-free dairy proteins that are identical in taste, texture, and nutritional value to cow milk proteins, the statement said. The decision in Israel follows that of the Food and Drug Administration’s approval in the US about one year ago.
Dr. Eyal Afergan, the CEO of Imagindairy and a graduate of Israel’s Technion Institute of Technology, said the approval is a significant milestone for the company, and demonstrates the safety of their quality milk proteins, which are free from cholesterol, lactose, or hormones.
The proteins can be used to produce dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream.
ImaginDairy Co-founder and CEO Eyal Afergan and Senior Scientist Ariella Lavy-Alperovitch are both Technion alumni.
