Sell Lab-Grown Meat in Alabama and You Could Go to Jail

Alabama has become the second US state to ban the sale of cultivated meat. The bill, signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey on May 7, will make it illegal for anyone to manufacture, sell, or distribute cultivated meat in Alabama. Anyone found guilty of violating the law will have committed a class C misdemeanor, which in Alabama carries the possibility of up to a three-month jail sentence and a fine of $500.

The Alabama bill includes a carve-out that allows higher education institutes and government departments to conduct research into cultivated meat. “Alabama’s decision to strip its citizens of their right to decide what they can eat erodes freedom at an important moment. During the same legislative session, a bill—HB14—was considered which would require, among other things, signage warning Alabamans of fish that have been contaminated by polluted waters.
