DAIRY PRIDE Act

The DAIRY PRIDE Act aims to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to establish a specific definition for "dairy product." This bill directly affects food manufacturers and consumers by regulating how certain food names can be used. It defines a "dairy product" as food that is, contains as a primary ingredient, or is derived from, the lacteal secretion of hooved mammals. The act prohibits foods that do not meet this definition, or the requirements for an imitation food, from using names for standardized dairy products (like milk, yogurt, and cheese) in interstate commerce. Additionally, it requires the FDA to issue guidance on enforcement of these provisions and report to Congress on actions taken.
