TL;DR (AI)

  • This bill defines 'cell-cultivated protein product' and 'plant-based alternative protein product' and mandates specific labeling requirements for both, including disclosures about their derivation and distinctions from traditional meat and poultry.
  • It requires the Secretaries of Agriculture and Health and Human Services to revise a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly regulate cell-cultivated protein products, with HHS overseeing premarket consultation and facility conditions.
  • The bill extends the requirements of the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act to cell-cultivated protein products, ensuring they are subject to the same regulatory standards as traditional meat and poultry.
