Iowa Governor signs bill requiring clear labeling for plant-based, lab-grown, or insect-based meat alternatives, starting July 1.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed a bill that requires clear labeling for plant-based, lab-grown, or insect-based meat alternatives. Starting July 1, these products will need to be labeled with terms such as "meatless," "fake," or "imitation" to be sold in Iowa. The new law also prohibits lab-grown products from being used in school lunches and bars Iowans from using food assistance benefits to purchase egg alternatives.
