About
LAMU is an Israel-based foodtech company developing industrial technology for sugar control in dairy processing. The company develops an industrial process for controlling naturally occurring sugar in milk without additives, milk loss, or changes to milk composition. LAMU's technology is a chromatography platform built for sugar control in dairy processing, where a proprietary consumable selectively captures lactose as milk flows through the sugar removal system, leaving the rest of the milk unchanged. The system is designed within the FDA Food Contact Substance framework.
