Ban on Federal Funding for Lab-Grown Meat Production and Research

This bill aims to completely prohibit the use of federal funds to support the production, research, and advancement of lab-grown meat. This means innovative food production methods will not receive government backing, potentially slowing their development and maintaining the dominance of the traditional meat industry. For consumers, this could result in less choice and potentially higher prices for alternative products in the future.
Key points
No federal funds may be used to support, directly or indirectly, the production, advancement, or enhancement of lab-grown meat.
The prohibition includes funding research on lab-grown meat and supporting related processing plants or organizations.
Traditional farms and producers will not be excluded from federal assistance programs if they do not produce lab-grown meat.
