Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The FAIR Labels Act of 2026 amends federal meat and poultry inspection laws to establish labeling requirements for cell-cultivated protein products (grown from animal cell cultures outside a live animal) and plant-based alternative protein products. Cell-cultivated products must be labeled with the term 'cell-cultivated' prominently on packaging and include disclaimers that they are not derived from naturally produced meat or poultry. Plant-based products must similarly be labeled as 'plant-based alternative protein product' with clear statements that they do not contain naturally produced meat or poultry. The bill also revises the FDA-USDA Memorandum of Understanding to clarify regulatory responsibilities, with the USDA overseeing cell-cultivated products under meat and poultry inspection frameworks and the FDA handling premarket safety evaluation and facility oversight.
