Defines "manufactured-protein food product" as cultivated-protein, fungus-protein, insect-protein, or plant-protein products not harvested directly from livestock or poultry

Establishes a civil penalty not exceeding $500 per misbranded food product for violations, with the Board authorized to set escalating penalties for repeat offenses

Exempts products containing only trace amounts of manufactured-protein from misbranding requirements, as determined by the Department

Adds violations of the misbranding requirements to Virginia's Consumer Protection Act list of prohibited practices under § 59.1-200
