SEATTLE - After a newly enacted Florida law that bans the sale of lab-grown meat, a manufacturer has filed a lawsuit against the state arguing that the restrictions give an unconstitutional advantage to Florida farmers over out-of-state competitors.
In May, Florida became the first state to ban and criminalize the manufacture and sale of lab-grown meat. Gov. Ron DeSantis said that Florida was "fighting back against the global elite's plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals."
