Clear Egg Labels Act: Preventing Misleading Egg Product Alternatives
New regulations aim to ensure that products marketed as eggs or egg products genuinely come from poultry. This protects consumers from misleading labels on plant-based alternatives, providing clear and truthful information about their purchases, especially regarding nutritional value and allergies.
Key points
Definition of an egg: Only the reproductive output of avian poultry, with albumen and yolk encased in a calcium-based shell, can be labeled as an egg.
Consumer protection: Ensuring egg alternatives are clearly labeled to prevent confusion and protect individuals with allergies.
Enhanced enforcement: Authorities will enforce new labeling rules and report on actions taken against misbranded products.
