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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-meat-tasting-menu) to produce and sell the world’s first cultivated quail product. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 22% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cultivated-quail-derived-products:** Exploring cultivated quail meats as an innovative alternative to traditional animal-derived products. - **Alternative-meat-technology-advancements:** Advancing cultivated meat technology to offer diverse options beyond chicken or beef. - **Serum-free-meat-cultivation:** Developing meat cultivation processes that eliminate the use of animal-derived serum and antibiotics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Alternative-protein:** Innovating within the alternative protein industry by introducing cultivated quail meats as a novel product offering. - **Food-innovation:** Driving food innovation by incorporating cultivated quail products into culinary creations like the Foraged Parfair. - **Sustainable-food-production:** Promoting sustainability in food production by securing regulatory approval for cultivated quail products as a viable option. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Umami Cultured Quail Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-cultured-quail-spread.md) - [Cultured Tallow Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tallow-candle.md) - [Cultivated Smoked Duck Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-duck-breast.md) - [Plant-Based Quail Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-quail-egg.md) - [Cultivated Meat Tasting Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-meat-tasting-menu.md) - [Cultivated Pork Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-pork.md) - [Asian Cultivated Meat Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ajinomoto.md) - [Cultivated Lamb Kebabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-lamb.md) - [Korean Cultivated Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-f.md)
