Cell-cultured food definition establishment and food labels identification products containing cell-cultured food requirement provision

SF 239 defines "cell-cultured meat" and "cell-cultured poultry" in Minnesota law as products grown from animal cells in a controlled environment. The bill requires food labels and restaurant menus to clearly identify products containing these ingredients, amending labeling rules (Minnesota Statutes § 31.12) and defining terms in food product statutes (§§ 31.01, 31A.02). This directly affects food producers, manufacturers, and restaurants selling cell-cultured meat or poultry products within Minnesota. The key mechanism is a mandatory labeling requirement to ensure consumers can identify these specific products on packaging and menus. The bill focuses on clear definitions and transparency, not on regulating production or creating new standards.
