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.

Official House press release documents Simpson's cosponsorship of a bill matching the claim and states his support for accurate labeling of plant-based and lab-grown protein products.

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.

Official bill record confirms Simpson's original cosponsorship of legislation requiring clearer labeling for plant-based and lab-grown 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.
