The American Farm Bureau Federation is calling on the Food and Drug Administration to enforce current food labeling standards for dairy substitutes.
Danny Munch tells Brownfield FDA’s proposed guidance on labeling plant-based milk alternatives has too much leeway.
“Providing flexibility on this really opens the door to define any food as anything and lets companies utilize whatever terminology they want on product labeling,” he says.
Munch says the FDA has a current standard for milk just as it does for jam and jelly.
