Clear Food Labels: Mandatory Labeling for Imitation and Cell-Cultured Meats.
This Act mandates new, strict labeling rules for food products, ensuring consumers can easily distinguish between traditional meat/poultry, plant-based imitations, and cell-cultured products. Imitation products must prominently display the word "imitation" or a clear disclaimer stating they contain no animal ingredients. Cell-cultured products must be clearly labeled as "cell-cultured" or "lab-grown" immediately next to the food name, enhancing consumer choice.
Key points
Requires imitation meat and poultry products (e.g., plant-based alternatives) to be clearly labeled as "imitation" or include a statement confirming the absence of animal ingredients.
Mandates that cell-cultured or lab-grown meat and poultry products must conspicuously display the terms "cell-cultured" or "lab-grown" on the label.
The goal is to increase transparency, allowing consumers to make informed choices about the origin and composition of their food.
