S.F. 2180 Section 1. NEW SECTION . 191.9A Food products containing 1 a vaccine. 2 1. As used in this section, “vaccine or vaccine material” 3 means a substance intended for use in humans to stimulate 4 the production of antibodies and provide immunity against 5 disease, if prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its 6 products, or a synthetic substitute, and treated to act as an 7 antigen without inducing the disease. 8 2. A person shall not directly or indirectly offer for sale 9 or sell food processed for human consumption if all of the 10 following apply: 11 a. The food’s ingredients include a vaccine or vaccine 12 material that has been approved by the United States food and 13 drug administration. 14 b. The food’s packaging or wrapping is not attached with 15 a conspicuous label that notifies persons the food contains a 16 vaccine or vaccine material. 17 EXPLANATION 18 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 19 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 20 This bill amends Code chapter 191 requiring food offered or 21 exposed for sale, or sold, in package or wrapped form, to be 22 labeled (Code section 191.1). The Code chapter is administered 23 by the department of agriculture and land stewardship (DALS). 24 The bill applies to processed food, if the food’s ingredients 25 include a vaccine or vaccine material approved by the United 26 States food and drug administration. The food’s package or 27 container must be attached with a label notifying persons of 28 that ingredient. DALS is authorized to petition a district 29 court for injunctive relief to prevent a violation (Code 30 section 191.10). A person who violates the bill is guilty of a 31 simple misdemeanor (Code section 189.21). A simple misdemeanor 32 is punishable by confinement for no more than 30 days and a 33 fine of at least $105 but not more than $855. 34 -1- LSB 5324XS (2) 91 da/js 1/ 1
