The strange future of lab-grown meat involves quail, crocodile, and woolly mammoth

The quail parfait, unlike traditional pâté, is grown from connective tissue cells of a Japanese quail embryo, representing a radical innovation in food production.

Vow’s quail meat is produced in a cell-meat factory, demonstrating a significant advancement from small tastings to scalable production in a 15,000-liter bioreactor.

With nearly $50 million in funding, Vow is significantly scaling up production, aiming for 100 tons of cultivated quail annually with new bioreactor installations.

This dish, presented at a Climate Week event, encapsulates the intersection of biotechnology and sustainability in modern food systems, challenging traditional meat production methods.
