It looks like South Dakota has decided not to pursue a 10-year ban on cell-cultured protein after the Senate failed to pass House Bill 1109.

The vote was a close one, with some Senators changing their positions overnight, which ultimately led to the bill’s failure.

However, other legislation related to cell-cultured proteins is still moving forward, including a law prohibiting misbranding and another bill aimed at blocking state spending on these products.

This is a key moment for cell-cultured protein debates, as some states are closely considering the role of these innovative foods in the market.
