Protecting Dairy Names: Ending Misleading Labels for Plant-Based Alternatives.
New rules aim to ensure that products sold as milk, yogurt, or cheese actually come from animals. This means plant-based alternatives will not be able to use these names, helping consumers make informed choices and avoid confusion when shopping.
Key points
Plant-based products cannot be labeled as milk, yogurt, or cheese if they are not derived from animals.
The act aims to clearly distinguish between real dairy products and their alternatives.
New guidelines for enforcing these rules will be issued, and compliance will be monitored.
