Florida became the first state to ban lab-grown meat, with the law taking effect Monday. Anyone caught selling or distributing cultivated meat faces up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.

One company, Upside Foods, held a special tasting event in Miami right before the ban began. Chef Mika Leon prepared chicken dishes using their lab-grown meat for Florida residents who...
