Cultivated meat company Parima announced today that it has achieved regulatory approval for its cultivated duck product in Singapore. The product has been authorised by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
This is the company’s second approval, after it received the green light for its cultivated chicken product in October 2025, also in Singapore.
Singapore has seen several other cultivated meat approvals as well, including for Australian company Vow. It is one of only four territories (the other three being Israel, Australia and the US) in which cultivated meat has been approved.
“The approval of our cultivated duck product marks a new chapter not only for Parima but for cultivated food more broadly,” says Nicolas Morin-Forest, CEO of Parima. “In a sector moving from promise to proof, repeatable regulatory success is becoming a clear marker of platform strength.”
Now, he says, the company plans to focus on commercialisation, looking to target both high-end gastronomy and retail.
Parima's other novel food applications
Parima was formed last year when Gourmey bought Vital Meat.
A cultivated foie gras product was also submitted by Gourmey for approval as a novel food in the EU, AASwitzerland and the UK before the acquisition, at the same time as in Singapore. Vital Meat also submitted a cultivated chicken product for approval in the UK before the acquisition, which is currently pending.
Parima’s products are also part of the UK’s regulatory sandbox, which has aimed to streamline cultivated meat regulation in the country.
