Title: Texas Sued Over Its Lab-Grown Meat Ban

Link: https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/09/08/1511...

An anonymous reader shares a report: Two cultivated meat companies have filed
a lawsuit against officials in Texas over the law that bans the sales of lab-
grown meat in the state for two years. California-based companies UPSIDE
Foods, which makes cultivated chicken, and Wildtype, which makes cultivated
salmon are suing Attorney General Ken Paxton, Texas Department of State
Health Services, Texas Health and Human Services, and Travis County, accusing
them of government overreach. "This law has nothing to do with protecting
public health and safety and everything to do with protecting conventional
agriculture from innovative out-of-state competition," said Paul Sherman, a
senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, a nonprofit law firm that is
representing UPSIDE Foods and Wildtype. "That is not a legitimate use of
government power." In June, lawmakers passed Senate Bill 261, which bans the
sale of lab-grown meat in Texas for two years. Lab-grown meat, also known as
cell cultivated meat or cultured meat, is made from taking animal cells and
growing them in an incubator or bioreactor until they form an edible product.
