Bill > HB1077

This bill amends existing South Dakota law to define a "cultivated-protein food product" as adulterated food. Adulterated food is generally defined as food that has been tampered with in various ways, such as having harmful substances added, valuable parts removed, or being prepared under unsanitary conditions. The bill specifically adds a new category to this definition: any food product that has sensory characteristics similar to animal tissue but is produced by growing cells, including stem cells, outside of an animal in a laboratory setting. This means that any food derived from such a process, regardless of its safety or quality, will be considered adulterated under South Dakota law.
