Australia and New Zealand Approve First Cell-Cultured Food Product
Tuesday, April 15, 2025
  • Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) have approved a cell-cultured quail product produced by Vow, an Australian company. Under the approval, either the term “cell-cultured” or “cell-cultivated” must be displayed on the labeling.
  • The approval follows two rounds of public consultations on Vow’s novel food application, originally submitted in January 2023.
  • The approval will now be sent to the Food Ministers (of the Commonwealth, States and Territories, and New Zealand) who have 60 days to accept, amend, or seek a review of the proposed change to the Food Standards Code. If accepted, the product can then be commercialized.
