Banning Lab-Grown Meat from Federal School Lunch and Breakfast Programs
This legislation prohibits the use of cell-cultivated (lab-grown) meat in meals provided under the federal School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. This ensures that all government-funded school meals will continue to use traditionally sourced meat products. The change directly impacts the ingredients available in school cafeterias nationwide.
