HB1077

Vetoed

Consider a cultivated-protein food product to be adulterated food.

House BillJulie Auch(R)Introduced Jan 16, 2026Last action Feb 10, 2026

South Dakota's food adulteration law is being revised to clarify and update the language describing what makes food illegal to sell, including modernizing outdated phrasing and grammar. The bill also adds a new category defining cultivated-protein food products (lab-grown meat) as adulterated food, effectively banning their sale in the state. The changes keep South Dakota's existing food safety standards while extending them to prohibit this newer category of food product.
