Missouri approves legislation to ban labeling plant-based 'meat' as meat

Plant-based meat substitutes — think the Impossible Burger or the Beyond Burger — or meat grown in a laboratory won't be able to be marketed as meat under new legislation recently approved by lawmakers in Missouri in a 125 to 22 vote. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch quoted representative Jeff Knight, who backed the change, as saying, "We're not trying to mislead anyone. We're just trying to protect our product." Related:
