Australian startup Vow has received the green light from the Singaporean government for the sale of its parfait, a cultured lab-grown meat made from Japanese quail.

Vow is the third startup to receive a permit in Singapore to sell cultured meat, following Upside Foods and Good Meat, both of which created lab-grown meat from chicken and whose products are only available in select partner stores.
