For the first time ever, a regulatory submission has been made for cultivated meat in the European Union, marking a pivotal milestone for GOURMEY and the entire cultivated foods ecosystem. The French company has requested market approval in five regions, filing applications in the US, Singapore, UK, Switzerland and the European Commission. This makes GOURMEY the very first cultivated food company to file for approval in the EU.
GOURMEY's submission for their cultivated foie gras will be reviewed by some of the world's most advanced regulatory agencies, including the EU’s stringent novel food framework. This is a testament to GOURMEY’s technology leadership, their commitment to safety, and the immense dedication of their team.

“We want to celebrate a massive team effort from all Gourmates,” said a GOURMEY spokesperson. “This involves relentless work over the past few years to build a safe, resource-efficient, and commercially viable solution. We’ll first empower our culinary partners with our flagship cultivated duck product, offering a new choice for foie gras enthusiasts, chefs, and restaurants worldwide, followed by further sustainable and delicious foods as we continue to scale up.”
As Europe aims to boost food security and achieve sustainability goals, GOURMEY is convinced cultivated foods have strong potential to complement existing agrifood value chains, enhancing the long-term resilience of the food system.
This development represents a major leap forward for the cultivated meat industry, promising a future where sustainable and ethical food options are more accessible to consumers across Europe and beyond.
