SF239

The bill SF No 239 aims to regulate and label cell-cultured meat and poultry products in Minnesota. It defines cell-cultured meat and poultry as products grown from animal cells in a controlled environment rather than from slaughtered animals. The bill requires that these products be clearly labeled as cell-cultured when sold in stores or served in restaurants. This is to ensure that consumers are aware of what they are purchasing and consuming. Additionally, the bill includes cell-cultured products in the broader definitions of meat and poultry food products under Minnesota statutes. By doing so, it seeks to prevent fraud and protect public health through clear labeling norms established and enforced by the commissioner.
