This bill would have banned the manufacture, sale, or exchange of meat products made from cultured animal tissue (sometimes called lab-grown meat) in Kentucky. It also would have removed a provision that previously classified such products as mislabeled food, replacing that approach with an outright prohibition. Who it may affect: consumers, food retailers, and agricultural producers in Kentucky.
