Public health and safety; prohibiting sale, distribution or production of cultivated meat products. Effective date.

Oklahoma Senate Bill 2116 prohibits the sale, distribution, or production of cultivated meat (lab-grown meat made from animal cells in a lab) within the state. It bans any person from manufacturing, selling, holding, or distributing these products, with violations classified as misdemeanors. The bill also requires manufacturers of plant-based or insect-based "meat alternatives" to prominently label products using meat terms (like "beef" or "chicken") with qualifying terms such as "plant-based" or "lab-grown" to avoid misleading consumers. Research on cultivated meat by government entities or universities with formal agreements remains permitted, and the State Department of Health gains authority to enforce these rules.
