Sens. Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Jon Tester (R-MT) have introduced a bill that would ban fake meat products from being served in school meals.
The School Lunch Integrity Act of 2024 would ban the use of cell-cultivated meat under the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program.
“With high quality, local beef readily available for our students, there’s no reason to be serving fake, lab-grown meat products in the cafeteria,” Rounds said in a statement.
The legislation has the support of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America.
