Protecting Dairy Names: Ending Misleading Labels for Plant-Based Alternatives.

This act aims to ensure that plant-based products are not labeled as "milk," "yogurt," or "cheese" if they do not originate from animals. This will help consumers make informed choices about dairy products, which are an important source of nutrients. Citizens will be assured they are purchasing genuine dairy products, not plant-based alternatives that often have different nutritional content.
Key points
Establishes clear rules for naming dairy products to prevent consumer confusion.
Requires products labeled as "milk," "yogurt," or "cheese" to be derived from animals.
Aims to improve enforcement of food labeling regulations by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
