Requires non-dairy products to stop using dairy terms like "milk" or "yogurt" on their labels.
This bill would require plant-based products to stop using dairy terms like "milk" or "yogurt" on their labels if they don't come from hooved mammals. It would change federal law to define "dairy product" more strictly. This would affect manufacturers of these alternatives and could make labels clearer for consumers. Dairy farmers would benefit from clearer distinctions.
Today, many plant-based products use dairy terms like "milk" or "yogurt" even though they don't come from animals. After this bill, federal law would explicitly define "dairy product" as coming from hooved mammals. Products not meeting this definition could not use standardized dairy names unless labeled as an imitation. The FDA would be required to enforce these new labeling rules.
