Relating to required labeling of food containing mRNA vaccine material.

SB 119 requires food sellers in Texas to place a clear warning label on any food product containing "mRNA vaccine material" (defined as substances in mRNA vaccines that introduce genetic material to trigger immune response). It directly affects food manufacturers, retailers, and meat producers who handle livestock injected with mRNA vaccines. The bill mandates that labels must conspicuously state "contains mRNA vaccine material" for all such food items, including meat products derived from vaccinated livestock. The law takes effect January 1, 2026, after the Health and Human Services Commission adopts implementing rules.
