Animal-free dairy plant to open in UAE
The United Arab Emirates is getting its first vegan dairy production facility as demand for non-animal-based products rises in the Gulf.
A vegan dairy production plant is coming to the United Arab Emirates.
The Silicon Valley-based food tech firm Change Foods announced Thursday an agreement with the Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi to build an animal-free dairy plant in the emirate, according to a press release.
UAE Trade Minister Thani Al Zeyoudi said in a tweet that the project “will help meet a large percentage of local demand.”
What it means: Change Foods produces cheese via microbes instead of milk from cows.
