If enacted, this bill would amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 36-917, which specifically addresses labeling requirements for food products derived from cultivated cells. Currently, there are no specific labeling requirements for such products, which could lead to consumer confusion regarding their origin. The new law would require that the manufacturer, packager, or retailer of these food products clearly label them with the statement: "This food product is derived from cultivated cells."
This addition aims to enhance transparency and inform consumers about the nature of the food products they are purchasing. The bill does not delete any existing statutes but rather supplements the current law with specific labeling guidelines to ensure that consumers are adequately informed about the products they consume.
