Cell-cultured meat and poultry definitions and labeling requirements provided.
HF 2170 defines "cell-cultured meat" and "cell-cultured poultry" as products grown from animal cells in a controlled environment, rather than from slaughtered animals. The bill requires food labels to clearly state when a product contains cell-cultured meat or poultry, and mandates restaurants to prominently indicate such items on menus. It amends Minnesota food labeling laws (sections 31.12 and 31.633) and updates definitions in food product statutes (section 31A.02) to include these products under "meat food product" and "poultry food product." This directly affects food manufacturers, retailers, and restaurants selling or serving cell-cultured meat or poultry products in Minnesota.
