The Texas & Southwest Cattle Raisers Association President Carl Ray Polk, Jr., commented after a federal judge denied the State of Texas’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on cell-cultured protein. “We remain committed to preserving the reputation and integrity of Texas beef, a product our membership has spent generations perfecting,” said Polk, Jr. “Our association will not stand idly by while animal cells grown in a lab are fed to Texas consumers with no long-term health studies proving their safety.” He also said the same industries, individuals, and organizations that promote and finance this unsafe product are the first to oppose or mount legal challenges against laws that require them to disclose to consumers that their product is cell-cultured. He added that any industry that refuses transparency with consumers should not be considered innovative, but rather dishonest.
