Relating to required labeling of meat, poultry, shrimp, and certain related food products.
This bill requires meat, poultry, and shrimp products sold in Texas to include a clear label statement indicating whether the product originated in Texas. It directly affects retailers, restaurants, and distributors selling these food items within the state. The law mandates a simple "origin" notice on all relevant product labels, replacing vague or missing origin information. The requirement will take effect on September 1, 2025, following adoption of implementing rules by the Health and Human Services Commission.
