The Missouri State Legislature is considering a food labeling bill that the executive director of the Missouri Pork Association says could have similar impact to California’s Prop 12 law.
The Senate Bill 149 would require more stringent labels for food and beverages sold in the state. The labels would display high sodium and sugar content in food, disclose lab-grown protein, and whether food is derived from an animal vaccinated with a messenger ribonuclenic acid-based vaccine or mRNAs.
"SB 149 - Under this act, the Department of Health and Senior Services shall promulgate rules and regulations governing human food and beverage product labels when such products are offered for sale in this state, including standardized front-of-package labeling when products contain high levels of sodium, added sugars, calories, or saturated fats; clearly marked common allergens; and requirements that products disclose the percentage of grains, fruits, or vegetables present in products marketed in certain manners. Rules and regulations promulgated under this act may be more rigid or more stringent than federal law governing such products".
