Oklahoma could become the next state to ban cultivated meat.
The legislative session begins this week, and two bills have been authored.
A Senate bill would ban the manufacturing and sale of cultivated meat in Oklahoma. A separate bill would include the same manufacturing and sale ban, but would also prevent scientists at research institutions and universities from performing cultivated meat research.
If the legislation passes, Oklahoma would become the third state to ban lab-grown meat, joining Florida and Alabama. Nebraska is considering a ban.
The USDA and FDA approved cultivated meat in 2023, making the U.S. the second country in the world to approve the novel food.
