HB 5787 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Food: meats; production and sale of lab-grown meat; prohibit. Amends sec. 7129 of 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.7129).

This bill prohibits the manufacture and sale of lab-grown meat, defined as meat produced from cultured animal cells, within Michigan. It achieves this by adding a specific ban to the state's food law, which currently regulates labeling requirements for ingredients and meat composition. The legislation does not alter existing rules for conventional meat products but explicitly prevents the commercialization of cultivated meat.
