AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would treat a food as misbranded under federal food law if it uses an egg or egg product name but is not actually an egg or egg product. It defines an egg as the reproductive output of poultry birds, including white or yolk that is or was in a calcium-based shell. The Food and Drug Administration would have to issue draft enforcement guidance within 180 days and final guidance within one year, and any existing FDA egg guidance that conflicts with the new rule would no longer have effect. Within two years, the FDA, working with the Department of Agriculture, would report to Congress on warnings and penalties related to these mislabeled foods.
