This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new requirement for labeling food products derived from cultivated cells. Specifically, it introduces a new section, 36-917, to title 36, chapter 8, article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The new law mandates that manufacturers, packagers, or retailers must include a label on the packaging of such food products stating: "This food product is derived from cultivated cells."

The existing statutes regarding food labeling remain unchanged, but this bill enhances transparency for consumers by ensuring they are informed about the nature of food products derived from cultivated cells. This addition aims to clarify the labeling requirements and address potential consumer concerns regarding the sourcing and production of these food items.
