Perfect Day and Unilever‘s Breyers have joined forces to introduce a lactose-free chocolate ice cream crafted with Perfect Day’s dairy protein, manufactured through precision fermentation.
The collaboration between Perfect Day and Breyers aims to enhance the sustainability of frozen treats by introducing a product with a reduced environmental impact compared to others on the market, all while preserving the rich and creamy taste that consumers associate with ice cream.

Apart from being devoid of lactose, the Breyers Lactose-Free Chocolate with Perfect Day is also free of cholesterol.
Perfect Day’s protein mirrors the whey protein present in conventional milk, offering all the flavor, texture, and functional advantages.
An ISO-compliant life cycle assessment, reviewed by a third party, found that Perfect Day’s process reduces blue water consumption by up to 99%, greenhouse gas emissions by up to 97%, and non-renewable energy use by up to 60%, when compared to traditional whey production methods.
TM Narayan, Perfect Day’s CEO, said, “We are thrilled to have developed this new product with Unilever, a hallmark example of how our second decade is focused on driving growth through collaboration with leading companies that share our mission of a kinder, greener tomorrow”.
He continued, “We’re inspired to see that more companies are turning to precision fermentation as a no-compromise option to continue to maintain their leadership position as consumer demands evolve for the future of our planet.”
Lisa Vortsman, CMO for Unilever Ice Cream North America, commented, “The launch of Breyers Lactose-Free Chocolate with animal-free dairy is an exciting and innovative addition to Breyers’ growing better-for-you portfolio. As we’ve seen demand for alternative ice creams continue to grow, it is important to us to provide Breyers fans with frozen treats that meet their dietary needs and preferences, without compromising on the creamy taste and flavour that Breyers has offered for more than 150 years.”
