Bill > HB211

This bill establishes new labeling requirements for meat alternative products in Missouri, mandating that plant-based, fungus-based, and laboratory-grown meat products must be clearly and conspicuously labeled to indicate their nature. Specifically, the bill requires that advertisements for food products be truthful and accurate, and not misleading in terms of grade, quality, quantity, or price. Under the new provisions, plant-based and fungus-based meat alternatives must be explicitly labeled as such, and laboratory-grown meat products must also be clearly identified. In contrast, traditional meat products harvested directly from livestock or poultry will not require any additional specific labeling. The bill aims to provide consumers with transparent information about the origin and composition of meat alternative products, ensuring they can make informed purchasing decisions by easily distinguishing these products from conventional meat.
