Getting Lab-grown Meat To Market

Dept of Industry, Science and Resources

The NMI plays a vital role in advancing Australia’s food technology sector. We support Australian companies to get innovative products to market and navigate complex international regulatory landscapes. We partnered with Sydney-based Vow Foods to help them get into the international market.

Vow Foods grow cultured meat from animal cells to create high-end novel foods for commercial distribution.

Using Japanese quail cells, Vow Foods developed 3 lab-grown meat products: foie gras, a forged whipped pate and an edible tallow candle.

They continue to develop and create new cultured meats to meet increasing demand. Their products feature on high-end restaurant menus in Australia and Singapore.
