HB 808 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Specifies that a food is deemed adulterated if it contains any cultivated meat

HB 808 would make it illegal to sell food containing cultivated meat (meat grown from animal cells in a lab) in Missouri. The bill defines "cultivated meat" as meat produced from cultured animal cells and classifies any food containing it as "adulterated" under state law, meaning it is deemed unsafe and prohibited from sale. This directly affects producers and retailers of cultivated meat products within Missouri, requiring them to stop selling such items. The bill replaces existing food safety definitions to implement this prohibition.
