Bill overview
The Dairy Pride Act aims to protect consumers and promote the consumption of real dairy products by prohibiting the use of terms like ‘milk,’ ‘yogurt,’ or ‘cheese’ on food products unless they meet specific criteria. Specifically, the bill requires the Food and Drug Administration to enforce a stricter definition of dairy products, ensuring that plant-based alternatives labeled as milk actually contain milk or milk-derived ingredients. This legislation seeks to address concerns about misleading labeling and insufficient dairy intake among Americans, aligning with dietary guidelines.
