 <p>Cultivated Biosciences, a Swiss Food Tech company, unveiled a dairy-free coffee creamer prototype created from yeast-based fermented fat. The creamer is developed using biomass fermentation combined with plant protein, sugar, and natural flavorings. The company states that the yeast-based creamer provides a cleaner taste and better texture compared to other non-dairy substitutes. It can also withstand coffee's acidity without curdling, a common problem of plant-based milk products.</p>
