FDA draft guidance on plant-based milk labeling ruffles industry feathers

FDA draft guidance on plant-based milk provides hook for opportunistic lawsuits, says attorney: ‘It’s actually quite shocking’

If brands choose to include the term ‘milk’ on such products, says the FDA, they should also add text on the front of the pack spelling out how they differ nutritionally from dairy milk

Long-awaited FDA draft guidance on labeling for plant-based milks has been slammed by the milk lobby for its “circular logic” and criticized by plant-based advocates who say it “undercuts the administration’s climate goals.”
