H471

North Carolina H471 mandates clear labeling for manufactured-protein food products, ensuring consumers know if items contain cell-cultured or.

North Carolina H471, the Food Labeling Transparency Act, requires manufacturers to label products containing cell-cultured or insect-based ingredients as "manufactured-protein food products." These labels must include terms like "cell-cultured" or "insect-based" to inform consumers. Restaurants must also clearly label menu items containing these products. The act aims to prevent misbranding and ensure consumers are aware of the non-traditional origins of certain food items.
