Ban on Federal Funding for Lab-Grown Cell-Cultured Meat Production.
This bill aims to stop the use of taxpayer money for the research, development, and promotion of lab-grown (cell-cultured) meat. If enacted, the federal government would cease supporting this emerging food technology, potentially impacting its market availability and cost structure for consumers. The only exception is for NASA funds used for off-planet consumption.
Key points
Federal funds are prohibited from supporting the production, research, or advertisement of meat artificially sourced from animal cells in a laboratory.
Companies producing cell-cultured meat will be ineligible for assistance or benefits under programs administered by the Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The ban does not apply to NASA funds used for cell-cultured meat intended for consumption outside of Earth.
