Pillen signs bill banning sale of lab grown protein
Nebraska has become the fourth state to ban lab-grown protein.
On Tuesday, Governor Jim Pillen signed a bill into law that bans the production, sale, promotion and distribution in the state. While it doesn’t affect plant-based alternatives, the measure specifically targets proteins derived from animal cells.
He says the long-term health impacts are unknown, and the law protects the state’s ag producers.
Nebraska joins Mississippi, Florida and Alabama to implement a ban.
