The California biotechnology company Tamarack Biotics achieved a landmark success in dairy processing, receiving official approval from regulatory authorities for its revolutionary TruActive technology on July 22, 2025.
The innovative approach uses ultraviolet treatment, which radically changes existing methods of milk ingredient purification. Unlike conventional pasteurization, this method guarantees maximum preservation of delicate enzymes and proteins that are traditionally destroyed at high temperatures.
Experts from the company emphasize that the technology offers an unprecedented level of microbiological safety without compromising nutritional value. The initial approval covers dry milk products, with an ambitious plan to obtain a full license for raw milk by 2027.
Scientific research definitively shows that raw milk poses serious health risks - statistics indicate that it is 840 times more dangerous than pasteurized versions. This context further underscores the significance of the innovative UV method.
Analysts describe the event as the most significant transformation in dairy technologies in nearly a century and a half, with the potential to completely transform existing industrial practices.
