This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section to title 36, chapter 8, article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Specifically, it introduces a requirement for manufacturers, packagers, or retailers of food products derived from cultivated cells to include a specific labeling statement on the product's packaging. The required label must read: "This food product is derived from cultivated cells." The current law, as outlined in ..., does not include specific labeling requirements for food products derived from cultivated cells. The insertion of this new language aims to enhance transparency and inform consumers about the nature of these food products, thereby updating the existing statutes to reflect contemporary food production practices.
