The bill also includes provisions to address concerns about the safety and quality of imitation meat and poultry products, as well as potential confusion among consumers about the differences between these products and traditional meat and poultry. By updating labeling requirements and ensuring that information about the ingredients and production methods of these products is readily available to consumers, the bill aims to promote transparency and protect public health.
In addition to these consumer protection measures, the bill also includes provisions related to the inspection and regulation of meat and poultry products, with the goal of improving food safety standards and ensuring that all products meet the necessary quality and safety requirements.
Overall, Bill 118 s 3693 seeks to address the growing market for imitation meat and poultry products by providing consumers with the information they need to make informed choices, while also ensuring that these products are held to the same standards of safety and quality as traditional meat and poultry products.
