Vow secures Australian approval for 'cultured' quail in landmark first for nation
Plus, Rival Foods raises €10 million to scale whole-cut plant-based meat, Juicy Marbles hooks first fish alternative with Revo Foods partnership, COP30 declaration urges global shift to plant-based diets, and much, much more!
It’s been a big week for future food, with regulatory breakthroughs, funding boosts and forward-looking forecasts all signaling real momentum in the alternative protein space.
A landmark milestone for cell-cultivated meat leads the week, as Australia gives the green light to a cultivated quail product – the first ever approved in the country. It’s a regulatory first that could ripple across the wider Asia-Pacific region. Will others soon follow?
There’s also fresh momentum in whole-cut plant-based meat, with a €10 million funding boost set to fast-track scale-up and product expansion. The focus? Texture, structure, and making plants behave more like muscle.
In the seafood aisle, a new collaboration is reeling in a first fish alternative – melding marbled plant-based formats with marine-inspired innovation. Could this be the surf to go with the turf?
Zooming out, there’s a strong message from the COP30 declaration: shifting toward plant-based diets isn’t just desirable – it’s essential. But how do we move from policy proposal to public adoption?
Meanwhile, one high-profile investment is turning heads in the cultivated fat space, betting on a future where fat enhances not just food, but a range of industries.
On the safety side, a new partnership between a global health body and a top university signals a fresh commitment to future-proofing novel food regulation. Standards are shifting – are systems keeping pace?
Planning ahead? The Regulating the Future of Food conference returns to Amsterdam this October, promising essential insight into emerging governance challenges.
And finally, a new tech forecast suggests innovation in cultivated meat could soon outpace conventional livestock production. The pace is accelerating – who’s keeping up?
