Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller today condemned a federal ruling that undermines the state’s recently enacted ban on lab-grown meat, calling it “an assault on Texas ranchers, a gift to Washington elites, and a slap in the face to state sovereignty.”“This ruling is an assault on the livelihoods of Texas ranchers and impairs Texas’s ability to protect its people,” Miller said. “Texas banned lab-grown meat to protect family ranches, preserve honest food labeling, and keep our citizens safe from synthetic products with zero long-term health record. “Lab-grown meat isn’t progress—it’s a Trojan horse,” Miller warned. “It threatens rural livelihoods, compromises food safety, and erodes confidence in what Americans put on their plates. “We will defend our right to make common-sense decisions about food and public health without federal interference.
