Lab-Grown Barbecue Sales Banned in Texas

  • Texas Governor Greg Abbott approved legislation, Senate Bill 261, which bans the manufacturing, selling, and distribution of lab-grown meat in the state beginning September 1, 2025.
  • The law responds to concerns about potential health risks from cell-cultured proteins and aims to protect Texas' traditional beef industry and consumers.
  • Texas, home to over 4.1 million cattle and supplying nearly 15% of U.S. beef, enforces new criminal penalties including Class A misdemeanors and felony charges for repeat offenses.
  • Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller hailed the legislation as a significant victory for Texas livestock farmers and consumers, emphasizing that people in Texas deserve to know their food originates from traditional ranches rather than laboratory settings.
  • Texas becomes the seventh state to ban lab-grown meat, reflecting efforts to safeguard traditional animal agriculture amid broader debates on food safety and industry competition.
