The Grown Foods Bill
Restaurants must label lab-grown foods on menus
Require that notice be provided for any lab-grown food served in restaurants.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, restaurants would have to put a clear label on any menu item made from lab-grown ingredients so shoppers know what they are buying.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Consumers could avoid surprise lab-grown meals, while restaurants face a small paperwork cost; now is the time to support the bill before it disappears.
