A bill to amend 2000 PA 92, entitled “Food law,” by amending section 7129 (MCL 289.7129).
House Bill No. 5787 aims to amend the Michigan Food Law by setting forth new requirements for the labeling of food products. This includes mandating that products be identified by their standard, common, or descriptive names if no standard name exists, ensuring labels on packaged products contain the product name, ingredient list, net weight, and manufacturer details. For bulk retail products, signage must display the product name and ingredients. The bill specifies labeling requirements for meat products, including the disclosure of antioxidants, monosodium glutamate, and the composition of meat in products named after specific meats, with a requirement that "all meat" or "all beef" sausages must not contain milk solids. Additionally, the bill prohibits the manufacture and sale of cultivated meat, defined as meat produced from cultured animal cells.
