A bipartisan bill has been introduced in the US House that would
regulate the labeling of artificial meat.
Representatives Roger Marshall (R) of Kansas and Anthony Brindisi (D) of New York introduced the Real MEAT (Marketing Edible Artificials Truthfully) Act of 2019 to help consumers distinguish beef from alternative protein products.
The bill would codify the definition of beef for labeling purposes,
reinforce existing misbranding provisions to eliminate consumer confusion and ensure
communication between the USDA and FDA to enforce the new branding.
