HB 1039 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Food labeling; require any food containing an mRNA vaccines to be clearly and conspicuously labeled.

HB 1039 would require food products containing mRNA vaccines or vaccine material to carry conspicuous labeling, though mRNA vaccines are not ingredients in food and cannot be present in food products. The bill defines "mRNA vaccine" as a substance administered for immunity, not an additive, making the requirement biologically impossible. It also allows "mRNA free" labeling for meat from animals not given such vaccines. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and does not reflect any current regulatory practice regarding food safety or vaccines.
