Bill seeks to end labeling of plant-based products as ‘milk’
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) Four members of Congress from dairy producing states again introduced legislation Thursday to prevent the labeling of products from nuts, seeds and plants as milk, saying it’s misleading to consumers.
The bipartisan bill, which has 33 co-sponsors in the U.S. House, calls on the Food and Drug Administration to enforce its regulations that define milk and cream and stop the labeling of plant-based products as milk, yogurt or cheese.
“Only milk comes from a cow not an almond or coconut or any other fruit or vegetable,” said Idaho U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson, a Republican, in a statement. He said he’s been sounding the alarm for years to the FDA for accurate labeling in the dairy industry.
