Food; requiring disclosure by licensed food establishments for use of cell-cultured meat. Effective date.
SB 1079 requires licensed food establishments in Oklahoma (like restaurants and grocery stores) to disclose when products contain cell-cultured meat (lab-grown meat developed from animal cells). The bill mandates that the State Commissioner of Health create rules for this disclosure, specifying how businesses must inform customers about cell-cultured meat content in their food. It explicitly excludes plant-based meat alternatives from this requirement. The law takes effect November 1, 2025, and does not ban cell-cultured meat but ensures transparency for consumers.
