Dairy groups say draft guidance from the Food and Drug Administration on plant-based milk alternatives doesn’t go far enough.
Miquela Hanselman with the National Milk Producers Federation tells Brownfield there is consumer confusion about the nutritional benefits of milk alternatives and the proposal could provide some clarity.
“If it’s a nutritionally inferior beverage to milk, it lays out how it is nutritionally inferior on the front of the packaging, so if it has less calcium then it says it has less calcium,” she says.
