FAIR Labels Act of 2024

The FAIR Labels Act of 2024 requires that imitation meat and poultry products - those marketed as meat or poultry but containing no actual meat or poultry - display the word "imitation" or a clear statement that they are derived from non-meat sources, along with a disclaimer that they do not contain meat or poultry, all prominently on the label. It also mandates that cell-cultured meat and poultry products (grown from animal cells outside a live animal) be labeled with "cell-cultured" or "lab-grown" in a visible manner. These labeling rules apply to all such products sold in interstate commerce with no exceptions, directly affecting food manufacturers and retailers. The bill aims to clarify product origins for consumers while aligning with existing federal meat and poultry inspection laws.
