I’m proud to cosponsor this legislation and advocate for Idaho’s cattle industry.
Support legislation requiring accurate labeling of plant-based and lab-grown protein products.
Occurrences
I remain committed to being a voice for dairy in Congress. I’m proud to cosponsor this common sense measure once again.
Evidence
Simpson's office says he cosponsored H.R. 8596, the FAIR Labels Act, and quotes him saying that falsely labeling a plant-based or lab-grown protein hurts farmers, ranchers, and consumers and that products should be accurately labeled.
GovInfo's bill record shows H.R. 8596 was introduced on April 30, 2026, and lists Simpson among the original cosponsors; the bill would require qualifying terms such as plant-based, lab-grown, or similar disclosures for certain alternative protein products.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation requiring accurate labeling of plant-based and lab-grown protein products, not necessarily to enact it. Simpson cosponsored H.R. 8596, the FAIR Labels Act, in the 119th Congress while serving in federal office, and the bill directly addresses labeling requirements for plant-based and lab-grown protein products. That constitutes delivery of the promised support in the same term.
