Summary

The bill adds new definitions for "non‑lactational dairy protein products"—foods made with dairy‑identical proteins created by microbial fermentation. It requires any such product sold in the state to carry a conspicuous label stating it is produced by fermentation and not from animal milk, and it outright prohibits their manufacture, sale, distribution, or marketing as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, ice cream, or any other dairy product. The measure takes effect only if a related House Bill 512 becomes law.
