Terms definition related to cell-cultured and insect products
This bill requires clear labeling for food products made from cell-cultured animal tissue or insect protein. It mandates that manufacturers label such products with "cell-cultured," "lab-grown," or an approved equivalent term in prominent type near the product name, and restaurants must identify these items on menus. Insect protein products must display "insect protein" on labels and list both common and scientific insect names in ingredients. The law directly affects food producers, grocery stores, and restaurants selling these products in Minnesota. It aims to ensure consumers can easily identify these novel food items without using technical jargon.
