food products; labeling; cultivated cells
HB 2762 (the "Andy Groseta Act") requires manufacturers, packagers, or retailers of food products derived from cultivated cells (like lab-grown meat) to label their packaging with the specific phrase: "This food product is derived from cultivated cells." This directly affects businesses producing or selling such foods in Arizona. The key provision is a mandatory labeling requirement to inform consumers about the product's origin, using plain language without technical jargon. The bill does not create new restrictions or subsidies but focuses solely on transparent labeling for this emerging food category.
