VVow Food creates cultured meat products, focusing on a blended cultured Japanese quail to offer a unique flavor and texture while reducing environmental impact. Its core product is grown from animal cells in a controlled facility, enabling meat production without traditional farming. The company identifies optimal cell combinations to produce high-quality meat, scaling production through large facilities like Vow Factory 1, which aims to output up to 30 tonnes per year. This approach differentiates Vow Food from competitors by prioritizing targeted cell selection, sustainability, and a distinctive culinary experience, backed by investors and government support, with initial launches planned in Singapore. The goal is to provide environmentally friendly, craveable meat options that appeal to meat-eaters and ecologically conscious consumers, helping reduce agriculture’s environmental footprint while expanding access to cultured meat globally.

Singapore approves cultivated duck from French startup Parima and cultivated beef from Aleph Farms. 1 November 2026 Singapore confirms its pioneering role in cultivated meat with two unprecedented approvals in 2026. In April, French startup Parima obtained the world's first approval to sell cultivated duck, which it intends for high-end dishes, including foie gras. In August, the Singapore Food Agency granted Aleph Farms the first approval for cultivated beef, sold as a thin-cut steak. Partnered with Malaysian manufacturer Cell AgriTech, Aleph Farms aims to become the first producer of cultivated meat certified halal, as the Islamic authorities of Singapore and Malaysia have each defined a pathway to halal compliance. Singapore is emerging as a "living laboratory", where chefs and restaurateurs will test these new ingredients. The first tastings will take place in the luxury segment, where products such as foie gras or steak can absorb the costs of a still-limited production. Higher volumes should then bring prices down and gradually broaden the audience. In collaboration with Australia's Vow, Parima carried out production on a 22,000-litre line, the largest food bioreactor in the world. By removing the most expensive components of the culture medium, the French startup cut its costs by 99% and brought the finished product down to around EUR 40 per kilo. Consulting firm Arthur D. Little sees a credible path to EUR 10 per kilo by the end of the decade, a level that would theoretically place cultivated meat within the price range of fast food.
Sydney-based cultured meat company Vow is making foie gras socially acceptable again and back on restaurant menus globally with the launch of its latest product Forged Gras, giving it an edge as the first company delivering a range of cultured meat products in multiple markets.
