Four members of Congress representing Vermont, Wisconsin, and Idaho have reintroduced a bill that will prevent labeling products made from nuts, seeds, plants, and algae as “milk,” “yogurt,” or “cheese.”
The bill calls on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to enforce its regulations that define milk and cream and stop labeling non-dairy plant-based products with the above dairy terms. The bill has 33 co-sponsors in the US House.
According to the representatives who reintroduced the bill, labeling non-dairy plant-based products as milk, yogurt, and cheese misleads the US consumer. They also claim that such marketing efforts by these companies have already negatively impacted US dairy farmers.
