DEBARYLIFE – The state of Alabama has become the second in the country to outlaw the selling of cultured beef.
Governor Kay Ivey signed SB 23 into law this week, which means that as of October 1, manufacturing, selling, or distributing food items made from cultivated animal cells is a Class C misdemeanor.
The measure states that food sales establishments that violate its rules could face civil fines ranging from $100 for a Class 2 violation to $10,000 for a Class 5 violation.
