Relating to lab grown meat
West Virginia's SB 185 requires companies selling lab-grown meat in the state to clearly label products as "lab grown meat" and separately list all ingredients. It defines lab-grown meat as food produced from animal cell culture without traditional slaughter, including products where it's used as an ingredient. Companies failing to comply face fines, potential permit revocation, or product forfeiture. The bill directly affects food producers and retailers selling these products within West Virginia.
