Mississippi SB2638 amends meat labeling laws to clarify definitions and enforcement mechanisms for misbranded meat products.

Mississippi SB2638 amends the Mississippi Code to clarify definitions and enforcement mechanisms for misbranded meat products. It adds definitions for terms like "cell-cultured dairy product" and "cultivated-protein food product." The bill mandates that the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce inspect food processing plants and establishments based on credible complaints of misbranded meat products. It also specifies that a food product is misbranded if it contains manufactured-protein food products and is labeled with an identifying meat term.
