DAIRY PRIDE Act

This bill would treat a food as misbranded under federal law if it uses the name of a standardized dairy product, such as milk, yogurt, or cheese, but is not a dairy product and does not meet federal rules for labeling imitation foods. It defines a dairy product as a food that is, mainly contains, or comes from milk obtained by milking one or more hooved mammals. The Food and Drug Administration would have to issue draft enforcement guidance within 90 days and final guidance within 180 days. Any existing FDA guidance that conflicts with the new rule would lose effect. Within 2 years, the FDA would have to report to Congress on its enforcement actions.
