Israeli food-tech startup Finally Foods has developed the world’s first genetically engineered potatoes containing cow-milk protein, a breakthrough that could revolutionize dairy production.

The company, part of Strauss Group’s The Kitchen food-tech incubator, is set to launch its first field trial next month in southern Israel, where the modified potatoes will be cultivated.

Once harvested, the potatoes will be processed to extract casein protein powder, a key component in dairy production. Casein, which makes up 80% of milk proteins, is essential for cheese-making and provides melting, stretching and foaming properties in dairy products.
