South Dakota would ban the manufacture, sale, and distribution of any product containing cell-cultured protein (lab-grown meat), making violations a Class 2 misdemeanor. The state health department would be authorized to inspect food service establishments for violations and issue stop-sale orders if cell-cultured protein products are found. This creates an outright prohibition on this category of food products in the state.
