HB717

Provides relative to labeling requirements for cell cultured food products

Complete·5/29/26

Louisiana HB717 mandates clear labeling for cell cultured food products.

Louisiana HB717 amends existing law to require that any cell cultured food product bear a clear and conspicuous disclosure identifying the product. This disclosure must be in bold typed print of not less than thirty-point font. The bill retains the prohibition against misbranding or misrepresenting cell cultured food products as meat products. This measure ensures consumers are informed about the nature of cell cultured food products.
