Bill > HB2769

This bill prohibits the sale of "cell-cultured protein," which is defined as food made by harvesting animal cells and growing them in a lab to produce tissue, for human consumption in Missouri. The bill makes this prohibition unlawful and enforceable in the same way as other violations of food safety laws, with penalties similar to those for misbranded food. The Department of Health and Senior Services is tasked with creating rules to implement this new law, and these rules can be stricter than federal regulations. The bill also clarifies that if any other state law conflicts with this prohibition, this new law will take precedence.
