Florida

After a federal appeals court ruling, Florida’s ban on cultivated meat remains in place, dealing a blow to the industry and reinforcing protections for livestock producers.

” ... so the bill that I’m going to sign today is going to say basically take your fake, lab-grown meat elsewhere. We’re not doing that in the state of Florida,” said Gov. Ron DeSantis.

More states are passing legislation regarding lab-grown meat products, whether it be with a ban to sell the products or labeling requirements. Lawmakers acknowledge consumers’ concerns and their right to transparency.
