## Summary

**Clear labeling for lab-created butter.** This bill would require any product marketed as butter that contains milkfat synthesized through non‑agricultural processes to carry the label "lab-created butter" or "contains lab-created butter" immediately before the product name, and it uses the 1923 federal standard of identity for butter to determine which products qualify. - Consumers: Shoppers would see explicit "lab-created butter" wording on packaging so they can identify products with synthesized milkfat. - Producers: Manufacturers marketing synthesized milkfat as butter would need to update labels to include the required wording. - Definitions and regulators: The bill defines "synthesized butter product" as marketed as butter but made with non‑agricultural milkfat and not meeting the 1923 butter standard, which triggers the labeling requirement.
