Labeling of Synthetic Food Product

Complete·5/16/25

South Carolina S0103 mandates clear labeling for synthetic food products resembling traditional animal proteins.

South Carolina S0103 amends the state code to require accurate labeling of cell-cultivated food products. These products, developed in labs from animal cell samples, must have packaging notices stating they are not naturally grown beef, poultry, fish, crustacean, or other animal proteins. The notice must cover at least 20% of the front of the packaging and be in a font size no smaller than sixteen. The bill also prohibits misleading or deceptive practices in advertising or selling these products.
