Mississippi’s bill restricting the use of animal-derived
food products to describe plant-based foods, which has been in
effect since July 2019, has reportedly received proposed amendments that would allow food
companies to use such words if they are modified by
vegetable-associated qualifiers, such as “veggie,”
“meatless” or “plant-based.” The updated
regulation would also allow food establishments to keep
animal-derived and plant-derived products separate “provided
that such non-meat products comply” with the naming
regulations “and do not contain any false or misleading
consumer disclosures.”
