"Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen, a lifelong hog farmer and staunch advocate for conventional agriculture, signed LB246 into law this week, officially banning the production, sale, promotion, and distribution of cultivated (lab-grown) meat within the state.
"The new law makes Nebraska the sixth state in the U.S. to enact such a ban, marking a significant step in the national debate over alternative proteins and the future of food.
"This move follows an earlier Executive Order signed by Gov. Pillen in August 2024, which prohibited state agencies from purchasing lab-grown meat and mandated that state contractors support conventional meat producers without preference for cultivated alternatives.
"The ban aligns with growing efforts in several agricultural states to protect traditional livestock industries from the emerging competition of lab-grown meat technologies."
