Rep. Gross Supports Legislation Protecting Ohio Consumers

COLUMBUS – State Representative Jennifer Gross (R-West Chester) is pleased to announce that the Ohio House of Representatives last week passed 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.

“To foster trust, safety, and clarity, empowering consumers to make informed choices is crucial,” said Gross. “House Bill 10 is a strong step toward greater transparency in Ohio’s food supply.”

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