This bill amends West Virginia Code 16-6-2 to enhance labeling requirements for food products sold in restaurants. Specifically, it mandates that any product containing or composed of "Analogue product," "Cell-cultured product," and/or "Food product," as defined in West Virginia Code 19-39-2, must be clearly and legibly labeled on all menus. This requirement aims to ensure that consumers are fully informed about the nature of the food items they are considering for purchase, thereby promoting informed consent.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the West Virginia board of health is responsible for creating rules and regulations necessary to implement these labeling requirements. The director of the state department of health is tasked with enforcing these regulations and any related laws concerning pure food in the context of hotels and restaurants. Overall, the bill seeks to improve transparency in food labeling, allowing consumers to make more informed choices regarding their dining options.
