SB 2121 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

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

This Oklahoma bill bans the production, sale, and distribution of cultivated meat (meat grown from animal cells in laboratories) within the state. Violations are punishable as misdemeanors, and food businesses selling such products could face license suspension or revocation by the State Department of Health. The law exempts research on cultivated meat conducted by government agencies, universities, or their partners. It also updates labeling rules for plant-based and insect-based products to require clear terms like "lab-grown" or "plant-based" to avoid misleading terms such as "beef" or "chicken."
