Parima Becomes First Cultivated Meat Company to Secure Regulatory Approval for Two Species
Vegconomist • Apr 17, 2026
France-based cultivated protein company Parima has received regulatory approval from the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) for its cultivated duck, becoming the first company to secure approval for two animal species with its previous approval for cultivated chicken. Both products are produced from avian cells grown in controlled bioreactors and differentiated into muscle and fat tissue. Parima plans to launch its cultivated duck in high-end gastronomy channels in Singapore, while the cultivated chicken product is intended for broader foodservice and retail applications.
The merger of Parima with fellow French cultivated meat company Vital Meat in October 2025 brought together Gourmey's production facilities and Vital Meat's bioreactor capacity and advanced cell lines. Parima aims to produce cultivated meat using efficient cell lines in industrial bioreactors without genetic engineering or scaffolding. The company has an extensive global regulatory pipeline with active filings in international markets, showcasing its ability to validate a production platform reproducibly across species and regulatory frameworks.
