Protecting Dairy Names: Ending Misleading Labels for Plant-Based Alternatives.
This act aims to ensure that plant-based products cannot be labeled as "milk," "yogurt," or "cheese" if they do not originate from animals. This will help consumers make informed choices and ensure that product names reflect their true nutritional content. It means clearer labels on store shelves, making it easier to distinguish between real dairy products and their plant-based alternatives.
Key points
Plant-based products, like almond or oat beverages, will not be allowed to be called "milk," and similar rules will apply to plant-based "yogurts" and "cheeses."
The goal is to protect consumers from misleading names and ensure labels clearly state the product's composition.
Authorities will be required to enforce these regulations, potentially leading to penalties for companies that do not comply.
The act emphasizes the importance of dairy products in the diet and the nutritional differences between them and plant-based alternatives.
