Florida bans lab-grown meats
Note: meat-alternatives, like plant-based mock-meats such as Impossible Meats are not banned.

Lab grown meat is created in a laboratory by taking stem cells from an animal and placing them in tanks called bioreactors full of a culture medium that enables them to multiply. Such bio-engineered food contains higher risks of allergies, immunosuppression, even cancer.

Lab-grown meats are also resource intensive and produces toxic-waste in the process.
