Cultivated meat technology has advanced to the point where it is no longer restricted to chicken or beef, with innovative companies like Vow exploring alternatives like cultivated quail in Australia. Vow's cultivated quail begins with cells of a rare Japanese quail—Coturnix japonica—grown without animal-derived serum and antibiotics. According to Vow, it is the only company globally that currently offers a product free from the controversial fetal bovine serum.
Quailia, the cultivated quail product, is set to launch under a brand called Foraged. The Foraged Parfair pairs the innovative meat alternative with butter, shallot, tapioca starch, port wine, garlic, brandy, vegetable and fruit concentrate, plus olive oil, salt and thyme.
The Australian cultivated meat company secured regulatory approval from the Singapore Food Agency to produce and sell the world’s first cultivated quail product.
