The proposed bill amends the Nebraska Pure Food Act to include new definitions and requirements specifically for manufactured-protein food products. It introduces terms such as "cultivated-protein food product," "insect-protein food product," and "plant-protein food product," which describe food products that mimic the sensory attributes of meat but are derived from non-animal sources. The bill also establishes labeling and advertising requirements, mandating that any manufactured-protein food product labeled with an identifying meat term must also include a conspicuous qualifying term to clarify that it is not a traditional meat product.

Additionally, the bill empowers the Department of Agriculture to investigate complaints regarding misbranding or false advertising of food products. It specifies that a food product is considered misbranded if it does not meet certain labeling standards or if it fails to clearly distinguish manufactured-protein products from those derived from agricultural food animals. The original sections of the Nebraska Pure Food Act that are being amended are repealed, ensuring that the new provisions are integrated into the existing legal framework.
