Bill > A4747

Introduced Session

This bill bans the sale or distribution of cell-based food products in this State. Under the bill, cell-based food is defined as any cultured animal tissue produced from in vitro animal cell cultures outside of the organism from which it is derived to produce food, or ingredients for food, for human consumption. Violators of the bill's provisions, which include the distribution, sale, or possession with intent to distribute or sell cell-based food, are liable to a civil penalty of $1,000 for each violation. For a violation of a continuing nature, each day constitutes a separate and distinct offense. The bill provides for the use of the "Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999," P.L.1999, c.274 (C.2A:58-10 et seq.), to the Department of Health for carrying out its provisions.
