House Bill No. by Representative Schamerhorn amends R.S. 3:4744(A) to enhance labeling requirements for cell cultured food products. The bill mandates that any cell cultured food product must include a clear and conspicuous disclosure identifying the product, which must be printed in bold type with a font size of no less than thirty points. This requirement aims to ensure that consumers are adequately informed about the nature of the food products they are purchasing.

Additionally, the bill retains existing provisions that prohibit the misbranding or misrepresentation of food products, specifically regarding the classification of cell cultured food products as meat products. By reinforcing these labeling standards, the legislation seeks to promote transparency and protect consumers from potential misinformation in the food market.
