REAL Butter Act

This bill would change the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act so that a synthesized butter product is treated as misbranded unless its label says "lab-created butter" right before the product name. A food that contains such a product would need to say "contains lab-created butter" instead. A synthesized butter product is defined as one that is marketed as butter but uses milkfat made through non-agricultural processes and does not meet the federal standard of identity for butter set in a 1923 law.
