Bill Summary
Amending Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in food protection, further providing for definitions and for prohibited acts.
AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania law concerning food protection by adding a definition for "cell-cultured protein," which refers to a food product for human consumption made entirely or partially from the cells or DNA of any animal and grown outside of the animal. The bill then prohibits the manufacturing, selling, delivering for sale, holding for sale, or offering for sale of this "cell-cultured protein," effectively banning its commercialization within the state.
