What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, no person may label a food product as, or sell or offer for sale

a food product that is labeled as, any type of meat product or “meat” unless the food

product is derived from an edible part of the flesh of an animal or any part of an insect

and does not include cultured animal tissue that is produced from animal cell

cultures. The bill defines “animal” as a mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, or

mollusk. The bill also requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection to promulgate rules to implement the prohibition in the bill.
