prohibit the misbranding of any cell-cultured protein product.
This bill prohibits the misbranding of cell-cultured protein products in South Dakota, directly affecting manufacturers and sellers of these emerging food items. It requires that any product derived from cell-cultured proteins be clearly labeled to prevent consumer confusion about its origin or composition. The legislation aims to ensure transparency by mandating accurate labeling practices rather than restricting the sale or use of these products. This measure applies to all businesses distributing cell-cultured protein products within the state to maintain clear consumer information standards.

MINOR
This bill adds new requirements for labeling cell-cultured protein products in South Dakota. It prohibits selling these products without clearly marking them as 'cell-cultured' or 'lab-grown' in prominent, uniform lettering on the label. This change ensures consumers are properly informed about the origin of food products that are grown outside of live animals.
Scope change
The bill expands the definition of 'misbranded' food products to specifically include cell-cultured protein products that fail to meet new labeling requirements.
REQUIREMENT
New labeling requirement mandates that cell-cultured protein products must clearly state 'cell-cultured' or 'lab-grown' in prominent, uniform lettering immediately adjacent to the food name on the label.
DEFINITION
New definition of 'cell-cultured protein' as a product made wholly or in part from cell culture or host animal DNA, grown outside a live animal, for human food use.
EXCEPTIONS
Explicit exemption stating the law does not apply to embryo transfer processes in livestock.
