Introduced Text

Missouri HB2501 prohibits the sale of cell-cultured protein for human consumption.

Missouri HB2501 makes the sale or offering for sale of cell-cultured protein for human consumption unlawful. The bill defines "cell-cultured protein" as a food product derived from harvesting animal cells and replicating them in a growth medium to produce tissue. Violation of this prohibition carries penalties similar to those for other violations under the state's food and drug laws. The bill also mandates that the Department of Health and Senior Services promulgate rules to implement this prohibition, which may include requirements not imposed under federal law.
