Australia’s precision-fermentation scene just got louder. Eden Brew has landed a regulatory first with FSANZ officially accepting its application for assessment — the first precision-fermented milk protein ever to enter the ANZ regulatory system. For a market still arguing about whether next-gen dairy is “real enough,” this is the moment the science steps into the ring with the regulators.

It’s the kind of milestone that makes both baristas and biotechs blink: The New Milk is officially here, the world’s first dairy milk made entirely without cows. Co-created by Israeli food-tech pioneer Remilk and heritage brand Gad Dairies, this precision-fermented milk delivers the taste, texture, and nutrition of real dairy, just without the livestock. For consumers, it’s a genuine milk experience that’s lactose-free, cholesterol-free, and 75 percent lower in sugar; for in

In the desert heat of the UAE, a vast new 4-million-litre precision fermentation facility will take shape and quietly, New Zealand’s Fonterra has a stake in the mix. Through its backing of Netherlands-based Vivici, Fonterra now sits within an Abu Dhabi partnership alongside The EVERY Company and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), marking one of the world’s largest industrial-scale fermentation projects designed for high-purity, Halal-compliant protein production.

Precision fermentation just scored a $10.4 million boost from the Endeavour Fund, with AgResearch leading a five-year programme to turn pine pulp and other local side-streams into high-value food proteins and ingredients. Framed as a low-emissions bioeconomy pathway, the project is designed to convert forestry waste into scalable, export-ready ingredients that sidestep livestock emissions and feed into the next generation of sustainable foods .

Precision fermentation, spearheaded by innovators like Auckland, based Daisy Lab, offers a sustainable path forward by utilising existing in
