Plain-language change summary

The bill SB 96 has been updated to change the terminology from "cell-cultured food product" to "cell-cultured meat." This change clarifies that the legislation specifically addresses meat products developed from animal cell cultures, distinguishing them from plant-based alternatives. This matters because it ensures that consumers are clearly informed about what types of products are covered under the Oklahoma Meat Consumer Protection Act, thus promoting transparency in the meat market.
