Bill > HB4462

This bill, titled "Prohibition on cell-cultured products," aims to ban the sale of "cell-cultured products" for human consumption in West Virginia. A cell-cultured product is defined as a food made by growing animal cells in a lab to create tissue that mimics traditional animal products like meat, poultry, or fish. The bill introduces a new section that explicitly prohibits offering for sale or selling these cell-cultured products. Additionally, it amends existing laws by removing definitions and labeling requirements related to cell-cultured products, effectively preventing them from being sold under current food labeling regulations. The bill also corrects numbering in the existing statutes.
