FDA says it coordinates with USDA-FSIS to ensure cultured-animal-cell foods are safe and accurately labeled; USDA-FSIS oversees production and labeling for livestock and poultry products, and all labeling for such products must be preapproved by USDA-FSIS.

Federal agencies have an ongoing labeling framework for cell-cultivated animal-cell foods, but this source does not attribute any action to Flood.

FSIS published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking seeking comments to inform future regulatory requirements for labeling cultured meat and poultry products and stated that labels for cell-cultured products under FSIS jurisdiction would be subject to premarket review to ensure they are not false or misleading.

The relevant federal rulemaking predates Flood's House service and remains agency-driven evidence rather than candidate delivery.
