NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — New rules for lab-grown meat are set to take effect in Tennessee next month. Lawmakers passed a bill this year to establish a permit process through the Department of Agriculture to sell “alternative protein” in the state. The legislation will also ban the words “meat” or “meat food products” from being printed on the label of lab-grown meat products, and create a $2,000 fine for breaking the rules.
