Nebraska and Montana ban lab grown, cell-based meat
Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte announced on [May 13] that he signed House Bill 401 into law. The legislation banned the sale or distribution of “cell-cultured edible product.” Manufacturing lab-grown meat for sale is also made illegal under the law.
Agriculture is Montana’s most important industry, with one in six of the state’s residents being employed in agriculture or a related sector, according to the Montana Department of Agriculture. Beef has remained a critical and iconic product of the state since it joined the Union in 1889.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey [also] signed Senate Bill 23 into law. The legislation prohibits the manufacture, distribution, or sale of products made from cultured animal cells. “These folks are throwing a couple of animal cells in there with some chemicals and calling it meat,” bill sponsor Alabama State Sen. Jack Williams told 1819 News.

The pattern appears set to continue after Montana’s decision, potentially bringing the total number of states with a ban on fake meat to four.
