Alabama has become the second U.S. state to say no to cultivated meat, an alternative protein made from animal cells.
The Alabama bill, proposed by Sen. Jack Williams, vice chair of the Senate Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry Committee, and signed into of law on May 7 by Gov. Kay Ivy, prohibits "the manufacture, sale, or distribution of food products made from cultured animal cells."
The new law comes a week after Gov. Ron DeSantis made Florida the first state to ban the sale of so-called lab-grown meat. "We stand with agriculture, we stand with the cattle ranchers, we stand with our farmers, because we understand it's important for the backbone of the state," DeSantis said in a May 1 press conference, the start of National Beef Month.
"Today, Florida is fighting back against the global elite's plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals," the DeSantis added.
