South Dakota lawmakers are gunning to ban lab-grown meat.

A panel of state House legislators has advanced legislation that would ban artificial meat in the state, setting up a pointed debate over food safety, consumer choice and whether lawmakers should block products that aren’t yet on grocery shelves.

Earning support from the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee with a 9–3 vote Tuesday, Jan. 27, House Bill 1077 would classify cultivated-protein products — meat grown from animal cells in laboratories — as “adulterated food” under state law, effectively prohibiting their sale in South Dakota.

Supporters described the bill as a preemptive food-safety measure and a defense of the state’s livestock industry.

“This is more about a philosophy,” bill sponsor Rep. Julie Auch, R-Yankton, told the committee.

She argued the state should draw a firm line against products she said are manufactured in laboratories using undisclosed processes and proprietary ingredients.

Auch also questioned federal oversight of cultivated protein, noting that companies developing the products provided their own research to regulators.

“We don’t even know what’s in it,” she said, referring to growth serums used in production.

Some cattle producers not concerned about lab-grown mean, Wittman says

Several lawmakers pressed Auch on why the Legislature should ban a product that is not currently sold in South Dakota.

“I’m having a hard time understanding how us banning a product that isn’t on our shelves currently will help our cattle producers compete,” said Rep. Kadyn Wittman, D-Sioux Falls, during committee questions.

Wittman later said some producers are not worried about competition from lab-grown meat. She told the committee that she’s spoken with a cattle producer who said, “I am confident that my beef will speak for itself in the future.”

Opponents warned the proposal repurposes food-safety statutes to block a product on principle and could invite retaliation against South Dakota agricultural products in other states. Apprehensions about consumer choice and the precedent set by labeling a product adulterated based on how it is made rather than measurable health risk also generated committee debate.

Rep. Kevin Van Diepen, R-Huron, said South Dakota is home to increasingly diverse communities with different food traditions.

“If someone else wants to eat that, why are we going to stop them?” Van Diepen asked. “That should be their choice.”

Worries about interstate retaliation were also cited, with critics contending HB 1077 could spur more politically progressive states to restrict the sale of conventionally raised livestock products.

“We all collectively can say that is bad policy,” said Rep. Drew Peterson, a cattle producer who cited California’s Proposition 12 and similar laws in Massachusetts that restrict some pork products from being sold in those jurisdictions. “If we don’t want them to do that in those states, how can we do it to them in this state?”

Supporters countered that cultivated protein represents an unresolved health experiment and a long-term threat to rural economies.

Rep. Kaley Nolz, R-Mitchell, said she views the issue through a food safety lens and does not want another generation to serve as a test case.

“I really don’t want to see another generation of Americans be an experiment for a health product,” Nolz said.

HB 1077 will next be considered on the House floor.

President Donald Trump has endorsed U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Minocqua, in his bid to be the next governor of Wisconsin.

Trump announced the endorsement Tuesday night, writing on his social media platform Truth Social that Tiffany had his “Complete and Total Endorsement.”

“He will fight to advance Common Sense Values, and put WISCONSIN, AND AMERICA, FIRST,” Trump wrote.

The endorsement puts to bed the questions of whether — and when — Trump would weigh in on the GOP primary for governor.

Tiffany, who has represented northern Wisconsin’s 7th District in Congress since 2020, was considered an early favorite to clinch the Republican nomination against Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann, but recent fundraising numbers suggested Schoemann could put up a fight.

The backing from Trump has proven critical in Republican primaries across the country, and it’s almost certain to give Tiffany a boost. Four years ago, Trump’s endorsement helped propel businessman Tim Michels over former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch in the 2022 GOP primary for governor.

But whether the president’s nod is a help or a hindrance in the general election is an open question, especially in a cycle that polling suggests could favor Democrats. Four years ago, Michels lost to Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in the general election. And almost immediately after Trump’s endorsement Tuesday, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin looked to seize on the president’s support of Tiffany as a condemnation.

“We agree with Donald Trump—Tom Tiffany has been by his side for all of it: ICE murdering Americans in the streets, the Big Ugly Bill, ending funding for the Affordable Care Act, invading Greenland, and raising every day costs,” read a statement from state Democratic Party Chair Devin Remiker. “Donald Trump just made Tom Tiffany the general election nominee, and we will stop him from bringing his chaotic and dangerous agenda in November.”

At least seven candidates are running in the Democratic primary for governor, where many of them have made attacking Trump central to their campaigns. The winner of the general election will replace Evers, who is not seeking a third term.

Trump’s announcement came as part of a slate of endorsements posted to his Truth Social platform late Tuesday evening. He also endorsed Michael Alfonso, who is running for Tiffany’s soon-to-be-vacant seat in Congress.

Alfonso is the 25-year-old son-in-law of U.S. Treasury Secretary Sean Duffy, who represented the 7th District before Tiffany. He’s one of four Republicans running to replace Tiffany.

Trump called Alfonso “a young ‘STAR’.”

In a post on X, Alfonso wrote that it is his “greatest honor to accept this endorsement from President Donald J. Trump,” and pledged “to be a steadfast MAGA warrior.”
