Rep. Peterson Votes in Support of Legislation Protecting Ohio Consumers

State Representative Bob Peterson (R-Sabina) yesterday voted in support of House Bill 10 - legislation to protect Ohio consumers from inaccurately labeled imitation meat and egg products. 

House Bill 10 will require companies to clearly brand food as either an agricultural food product or manufactured food product, removing companies’ ability to sell misbranded manufactured or fabricated meat or egg products as legitimate meat or egg products.

“I believe it is important for consumers to know what the food they consume is,” said Rep. Peterson. “House Bill 10 is a common-sense bill that assures meat is meat.” 

House Bill 10 now goes to the Senate for further consideration.
