HR 5659 United States House · 119th Congress

Consistent Egg Labels Act of 2025

HR 5659, the Consistent Egg Labels Act of 2025, requires that food marketed as "egg" or "egg product" must meet a specific definition: it must be the reproductive output of poultry (with a calcium shell) or an egg product as defined in federal regulations. This directly affects food manufacturers and retailers selling plant-based or alternative products currently using terms like "egg" or "egg product" that do not meet this standard. The bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to prohibit misleading labeling and mandates the FDA to issue enforcement guidance within 180 days and a final report to Congress within two years on enforcement actions. It aims to ensure consumers receive clear, truthful labeling about whether a product is made from actual eggs or alternatives.
