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.

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
