This bill amends R.S. 3:4744 to establish specific labeling requirements for cell cultured food products in Louisiana. It mandates that any cell cultured food product must include a clear and conspicuous disclosure identifying the product, which must be printed in bold type of at least thirty-point font. This change aims to enhance transparency and inform consumers about the nature of the food products they are purchasing.

The bill also clarifies that the provisions apply only to individuals or entities that place labels on food products, as defined in the existing law. By reinforcing labeling standards, the legislation seeks to ensure that consumers are adequately informed about the products they consume, particularly in the growing market of cell cultured foods.
