HB 1100 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Food and Food Products - As introduced, prohibits the manufacture, sale, or delivery, holding, or offering for sale in this state of any food that contains an antibiotic, or a vaccine or vaccine material, unless the food labeling contains a conspicuous notification of the presence of the antibiotic, vaccine, or vaccine material in the food; defines food that contains a vaccine or vaccine material as a drug for purposes of the Tennessee Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. - Amends TCA Title 47, Chapter 18 and Title 53.

HB 1100 requires food manufacturers and sellers in Tennessee to clearly label any food containing antibiotics, vaccines, or vaccine materials. It prohibits selling such food without this conspicuous label and redefines these products as "drugs" under Tennessee law. The bill directly affects food producers, retailers, and distributors operating within the state. These changes amend Tennessee Code Sections 53-1-102(14) and 53-1-103(a) to implement the labeling requirement and regulatory classification.
