Legislation that would crack down on imitation dairy product labeling has been reintroduced in the U.S. Senate.
Brody Stapel is the President of Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, and he tells Brownfield their research shows the need for properly labeling dairy and imitation products so consumers know what they’re getting. “If a plant-based product says it’s cheese or says it’s milk, they certainly think it contains dairy products, and it’s unfortunate because milk and dairy have been around for a long, long time and have always had a nutritions association with it.”
But Stapel says most consumers are fooled by the labels.
