The REAL Food Act
Food should be grown, not engineered.
The REAL Food Act would ban bioengineered foods, lab-grown meat, and shelf-life coatings from the American food supply, and reform how the FDA and USDA decide what reaches your table.
What the Act does
Four changes to how food is made, approved, and sold for human consumption in the United States.
-
Bans bioengineered foods
Prohibits the sale of bioengineered foods for human consumption.
-
Bans lab-grown meat
Prohibits cell-cultured and lab-grown food products for human consumption.
-
Bans shelf-life coatings
Prohibits coatings and additives applied to fresh food to extend its shelf life.
-
Reforms FDA and USDA review
Changes how federal agencies review and approve new food technologies before they reach the market.
