S 3584 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Consistent Egg Labels Act of 2024

This bill defines what qualifies as an "egg" or "egg product" under federal law, requiring that only products meeting specific criteria (like being the reproductive output of poultry with a calcium shell) can use egg-related terms in marketing. It prohibits labeling non-egg products - such as plant-based alternatives - with terms like "egg" or "egg product" if they don’t meet these definitions. The FDA must issue enforcement guidance within 180 days of the bill’s enactment to implement these rules. This directly affects food manufacturers, retailers, and consumers by ensuring labeling accurately reflects product content, particularly for those with dietary needs or allergies.
