Mississippi became the third state to ban cell-derived meat, a product not for sale in the United States. But not all livestock producers are opposed to cultivated protein.<\/p>\n

Curious to try a lab-grown chicken sandwich<\/a>? Don\u2019t look to satiate your craving in Mississippi, which earlier this week moved to ban so-called cultivated or cell-derived meat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The proposed ban, unanimously passed by the House of Representatives, carries a $500 fine and up to three months in jail for anyone growing or selling such products within the state.<\/p>\n

The bill, which Gov. Tate Reeves of Mississippi, a Republican, is expected to sign, is the latest in a series of legal maneuvers by states seeking to constrain the nascent cell-cultured meat industry \u2014 despite the fact that such products are currently unavailable to consumers in the United States.<\/p>\n

In contrast with alternative-meat products like Impossible Burger, which are made entirely from plants, lab-grown meat starts as cells taken from an animal. By nourishing them with a cocktail of nutrients, scientists can coax these cells to develop into animal muscle, connective tissue or fat \u2014 the basic components of meat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Proponents say cultivated meat can address the many environmental impacts of farmed livestock and provide meat eaters a protein that does not require the slaughtering <\/span>of animals.<\/p>\n

Last year, Florida and Alabama became the first states to outlaw the cultivation and sale of meat grown in laboratories, and a number of other states, including Nebraska and Georgia, are considering similar measures.<\/p>\n
