Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the nation's first ban on cultivated meat last May .

Lab-grown meat uses cell samples to grow meat in bioreactors, obviating the need to raise and slaughter animals.

A California -based manufacturer of lab-grown poultry products says the law discriminates against out-of-state businesses.

A federal judge rejects the state's motion to dismiss Upside 's lawsuit.

Florida bans cultivated meat, but Upside says it's "not supported by any adequate health or safety justification" State legislators who supported the ban delivered a similar message to Floridians who want to try cultivated meat should "go to California" Upside argues that the state's ban poses fewer health and safety concerns than conventional meat because it is grown under clean conditions.
