HR 6945 United States House · 118th Congress

Consistent Egg Labels Act of 2024

This bill requires that food marketed as "eggs" or "egg products" must actually meet the legal definition of eggs (reproductive output of birds with a calcium shell) or egg products as defined by federal regulations. It prevents plant-based or other alternatives from using egg-related names that could mislead consumers about the product's origin. The law directs the FDA to issue new labeling guidance within 180 days and enforce these standards, ensuring consumers receive clear information about what they're purchasing. This directly affects food manufacturers selling alternatives and consumers seeking authentic egg products.
