(Montana) Governor Greg Gianforte recently signed into law a bill to ban the manufacturing and sale of lab-grown meat in Montana.
Sponsored by Rep. Braxton Mitchell out of Columbia Falls, House Bill 401 prohibits the manufacture for sale, sale, or distribution of cell-cultured edible product, or lab grown meat.
Starting October 1, any retail food establishment in Montana that manufactures, sells, or distributes cell-cultured edible product is subject to suspension of their license and could be found guilty of a misdemeanor and faced with fines and imprisonment if convicted.
