NEW TECH FOODS

French cultivated food companies Gourmey and Vital Meat have merged to create PARIMA, a new entity focused on developing cell-based animal products including duck and chicken.

Gourmey has announced that it is the world’s first cell-cultivated meat company to have its application validated in Great Britain by the Food Standards Agency and Food Standards Scotland.

French cultivated food company Gourmey has received independent validation confirming that its production model can deliver cultivated meat at a cost-competitive scale.

Gourmey has unveiled the ‘industry’s first’ culinary advisory board, bringing together top international chefs to help shape its innovation.

With the cultivated food industry striving to achieve price parity, premium offerings represent the quickest path to profitability.  

Paris-based cultivated meat start-up Gourmey has filed several applications across five global markets to sell its cultured duck foie gras.
