Bill overview
This bill aims to establish a clear framework for regulating cell-cultured meat and poultry in the United States. It requires the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to collaborate through a formal agreement, dividing responsibilities for overseeing different stages of production – the FDA will handle cell collection and growth, while the USDA will manage processing and labeling. The bill also modifies existing food safety laws to explicitly include cell-cultured products within their scope.
