The proposed bill introduces a new chapter, Chapter 16, to Title 37 of the Idaho Code, which establishes labeling requirements for alternative animal protein products. It defines "alternative animal proteins" to include lab-grown meat and insect protein, and mandates that products containing these proteins must clearly label their packaging with specific phrases. For lab-grown meat, the labeling must include terms like "lab-grown meat" or "cell-cultured meat," while insect protein products must state "contains [common name of insect]." Additionally, restaurants and vendors are required to provide similar labeling on menus or notifications.

The bill also outlines ingredient list requirements for insect protein products, which must include both the common and scientific names of the insect species. The Idaho Department of Agriculture is granted regulatory oversight to enforce these provisions, including the authority to conduct inspections and establish additional labeling standards. Violations of the labeling requirements may result in civil penalties of up to $500 per violation, with each improperly labeled package considered a separate offense. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, due to an emergency declaration.
