FDA Proposes New Guidance That Plant Based Can Use The Words Milk

[RAMROD 117,126]

Soy, oat, almond and other drinks that bill themselves as “milk” can keep using the name, according to draft federal rules released Wednesday. 

Food and Drug Administration officials issued guidance that says plant-based beverages don’t pretend to be from dairy animals – and that U.S. consumers aren’t confused by the difference. 

Dairy producers for years have called for the FDA to crack down on plant-based drinks and other products that they say masquerade as animal-based foods and cloud the real meaning of “milk.” 

Under the draft rules, the agency recommends that beverage makers label their products clearly by the plant source of the food, such as “soy milk” or “cashew milk.” 

The rules also call for voluntary extra nutrition labels that note when the drinks have lower levels of nutrients than dairy milk, such as calcium, magnesium or vitamin D. They would continue to allow labels that note when plant-based drinks have higher levels.

Of course it's not real milk. That's why it's called ALMOND milk. Liquid created from almonds.

This whole time I thought almond milk was just almond flavored dairy

I mean to be fair, it's more like juice, but that doesn't have the right milky ring to it

True, if you think about it. White = milk.

Wait the dairy industry tried to lobby a name change? That's crazy companies and conglomerates have the power to make such decisions.
