Montana Ag Network: Ranchers want alternative proteins regulated – Beyond Meat Continues To Sizzle, Announces IPO

Montana ranchers produce some of highest quality beef you’ll find anywhere, but lately plant-based proteins and lab-grown meat have grabbed headlines and cattlemen and cattlewomen want to protect the integrity of their industry through proper labeling of alternative proteins.

For ranchers like Maggie Nutter, a board member of the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association from Sweet Grass, Montana, meat is meat, and beef is bovine.

"The U.S. Cattlemen’s policy is that meat is defined as coming from a live animal and harvested in the traditional manner," said Nutter. "It’s not anything that comes from insects, crickets, cultured cells, or plants."
