Missouri
This year, Missouri became the first state to ban the word "meat" on any vegan products or other plant-based substitutes. The law prevents food manufacturers from trying to represent their products as meat "if it is not derived from harvest production livestock or poultry." Violators face a fine of up to $1000 and even a year in prison. That means you won't see any more of the phrase "plant-based meats" on food products, which the Missouri Cattlemen's Association claims can cause consumer confusion. Tofurky, a company that makes imitation meat products from plants, is not going down without a fight.
