Food: meats; production and sale of lab-grown meat; prohibit. Amends secs. 5107 & 7129 of 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.5107 & 289.7129).
HB 4083 prohibits the production, sale, or offering for sale of lab-grown meat (defined as meat made from cultured animal cells outside the animal). This bill directly affects companies developing or selling cultivated meat products in Michigan. It amends Michigan's Food Law by adding a specific ban in Section 7129(7), making it illegal to manufacture or sell such products. The law does not change labeling requirements for traditional meat but explicitly blocks lab-grown meat from the market. The bill is currently in committee for review after its introduction on February 12, 2025.
