The Truth About Synthetic GMO Milk: What They’re Not Telling You!
Raise Awareness: Say No to Synthetic GMO "Milk"
The rise of genetically engineered foods is alarming, particularly when they bypass thorough safety checks. A notable example is synthetic "milk" made from GMO fungal microbes—like the whey protein produced by Perfect Day, which is used in products like Bored Cow's synthetic milk.
While these products gained Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status in 2020, critical concerns about their safety have surfaced. Independent studies suggest they contain heavy metals, unknown fungal proteins, and potential allergens. The synthetic whey protein is largely derived from Trichoderma reesei, a genetically modified fungal microbe. According to FDA data, up to 6.7% of this microorganism's by-products may be present in these synthetic proteins—a cause for serious health concerns.
Why You Should Care
- Potential Allergens: Many of the fungal proteins found in these synthetic products have never been consumed by humans. Unknown to science, these proteins could trigger severe allergic reactions or other health risks.
- Heavy Metal Contamination: Testing by the Health Research Institute (HRI) revealed contamination in these synthetic proteins, which further questions their safety for human consumption.
- Insufficient Oversight: The initial approval process under the Trump administration's FDA faced criticism for its lack of transparency and rigorous testing standards.
Time for Re-Evaluation
In light of these findings, it's critical to call for a re-evaluation of these synthetic "foods." Consumers deserve transparency, and the FDA must prioritize public health over corporate interests.
Take Action
Join the movement to demand a thorough review of GMO-based synthetic proteins like those used in Bored Cow’s products. Our health and well-being should never take a backseat to profits.
