The Mississippi House of Representatives approved a bill prohibiting the manufacture, sale, or distribution of cultivated meat, making it the third state to enact such a ban after Florida and Alabama. The bill imposes penalties including fines and potential jail time for violators. Agricultural Commissioner Andy Gipson has been a vocal critic of cultivated meat, aligning with traditional meat production values. Although the bill has passed, proponents of cultivated meat like Suzi Gerber believe its impact will be minimal, given that such products are not yet available for sale in the state or others like Wyoming and South Dakota where similar bills failed.
The Mississippi House of Representatives has passed a bill banning cultivated meat, making the state the third to outlaw this food innovation. The law prohibits manufacturing, selling, or distributing such meat.
Agriculture Commissioner Andy Gipson openly supports the ban, advocating for traditional meat and criticizing lab-grown alternatives as unfit, asserting, 'I want my steak to come from farm-raised beef, not a petri-dish from a lab.'
