SB 1422 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in food protection, further providing for definitions and for prohibited acts.

Pennsylvania Senate Bill 1422 amends state agriculture laws to prohibit the commercial sale of cell-cultured protein, which is defined as food made from animal cells or DNA grown outside the living animal. The bill adds a specific legal definition for this product and explicitly bans its manufacturing, selling, delivery, or offering for sale within the state. These restrictions apply to all producers and vendors of such products, effectively removing them from the Pennsylvania market. The law is set to take effect 60 days after it is signed.
