AI Summary
This bill requires food service establishments in Georgia to clearly disclose when a food product contains "cell cultured meat," which is defined as any food product artificially grown from animal cell cultures designed to mimic conventional meat. Restaurants must conspicuously display this disclosure on their menus, including electronic and physical versions, and cannot represent cell cultured meat products as conventional meat, which is defined as meat derived from the carcass of an animal.
