This bill amends several sections of the Nebraska Pure Food Act to include new definitions and prohibitions regarding cultivated-protein food products. Specifically, it introduces the term "cultivated-protein food product," which is defined as a food product that resembles tissue from agricultural food animals but is derived from non-animal sources or cell manufacturing processes. The bill also prohibits the production, import, distribution, promotion, display for sale, and sale of any adulterated food, which now explicitly includes cultivated-protein food products as a category of adulterated food.

Additionally, the bill establishes that any violation of the food adulteration provisions in the course of business constitutes a deceptive trade practice, thereby aligning it with the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The amendments aim to harmonize existing laws and ensure that the definitions and regulations surrounding food safety are clear and comprehensive. The original sections of the law being amended are repealed, indicating a significant update to the legal framework governing food products in Nebraska.
