The ‘animal-free’ term is also only applicable to a certain number of ingredients produced by members of the new Precision Fermentation Alliance (PFA), said Fowler: “If you think about the wide swath of products that could be emerging with precision fermentation technology such as sweeteners, colors and flavors, the animal free aspect is irrelevant to many of them.”įinally, she said, ‘animal-free’ products could appear in hybrid products that might combine ingredients such as plant proteins and animal-based fats.

But if these products are merchandised in the plant-based section, consumers may assume they won’t meet expectations on taste or texture “as some plant based products have very low repeat rates.” Retailers have also been unsure where to merchandise products containing whey, egg, or collagen proteins made without animals, sometimes putting these items in their growing plant-based sets, which could both confuse shoppers and restrict their potential, claimed Fowler.įor example, using real dairy proteins (made by microbes, not cows) can deliver superior taste and performance over plant-based products in categories such as cheese or ice cream, she claimed. When animal products are no longer made by animals, what do we call them? “We’re seeing that for some consumers, ‘animal-free’ can sometimes be conflated with plant-based.” This is potentially problematic given that Perfect Day is making real dairy proteins that come with a milk allergen warning, she noted. The term ‘animal-free’ “kind of took off,” said Allison Fowler, chief marketing officer at Perfect Day, which makes dairy proteins in bioreactors using a genetically engineered strain of the filamentous fungi Trichoderma Reesei via precision fermentation.īut consumer research conducted by Perfect Day over the past 18 months suggests it may not be the ideal term, she told AFN. But recent research suggests it may not be the optimal term as some consumers assume such products are plant-based, says startup Perfect Day. When Camilla wed Charles back in 2005, it was announced that she would be known as “Princess Consort,” despite having a right to the title of Queen.īut Queen Elizabeth II intervened to change that last year before her death.The term ‘animal-free’ has steadily gained traction to describe animal proteins from egg albumin to whey protein made by microbes in fermentation tanks instead of animals.

There’s always been a bit of sensitivity around how Camilla would be titled, particularly whether she would be known as Queen because it had been destined for Charles’ first wife, Diana. You may have seen that she’s now being titled as “Queen Camilla.” This was followed by an original composition by Andrew Lloyd Webber that set verses from Psalm 98 to music.

She was then presented with the Sceptre and Rod before committing herself to life-long service supporting her husband. Specifically, she wanted to honor her late mother-in-law by resetting the crown with some diamonds – the Cullinan III, IV and V – from the Queen’s personal collection. However, she made some “minor changes and additions,” the palace added.
