Meat and cell-cultivated dairy products; revise the MS Dept. of Ag and Commerce's regulatory authority regarding.

HB 1153 prohibits the manufacture, sale, or offer for sale of cell-cultivated dairy products in Mississippi. It expands definitions to clarify terms like "cell-cultured dairy product" and "cultivated-protein food product," requiring retailers and food service establishments to provide clear consumer disclosures about product authenticity at the point of sale. The bill also strengthens the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce’s regulatory authority, including enforcement powers, inspection procedures, and civil penalties for violations related to labeling and misbranding of meat and non-meat products. State agencies, public schools, and institutions of higher learning must adopt procurement policies preventing the purchase of misbranded or cultivated-protein food products.
