Urges FDA to prohibit labeling of non-dairy products as milk.
Assembly Resolution 14 (AR 14) urges the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate and take action against manufacturers labeling non-dairy products (like almond or soy milk) as "milk," referencing the FDA's existing definition that "milk" must come from dairy animals. The resolution argues such labeling misleads consumers about nutritional benefits - since non-dairy products lack the calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients in dairy milk - and harms dairy farmers by reducing demand for traditional dairy products. It does not create new law but formally requests FDA enforcement, with copies sent to the FDA Commissioner and New Jersey's congressional delegation.
