Lab-grown meat ban moves forward in Nebraska Legislature

Nebraska's Legislative Bill 246, which bans lab-grown meat, advanced to a second debate after a 33-4 vote.
Governor Jim Pillen requested the bill to protect Nebraska's agriculture, the state's economic lifeblood.
The bill, authored by State Sen. Barry DeKay, aims to shield Nebraska's meat industry and consumers from 'adulterated food's effects'.
DeKay stated the goal is to keep lab-grown products off shelves without heavy penalties, while Storer said a ban signals safety.
If passed, Nebraska would be the fourth state to ban lab-grown meat, though some senators argue the focus is misplaced.
