HB 783 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

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

HB 783 requires food containing mRNA vaccines or vaccine material to carry a conspicuous label, but it is based on a scientific misunderstanding since mRNA vaccines are medical products not used in food. The bill directly affects food manufacturers and sellers in Mississippi by prohibiting the sale of any food containing mRNA vaccines unless labeled with a clear notice of their presence. It includes an exception allowing "mRNA free" labeling for meat products derived from animals not given mRNA vaccines. The law does not change actual food safety standards but mandates specific labeling for a non-existent scenario, as mRNA vaccines are never added to food products.
