Description
Milk; definition; misbranding; prohibition. Defines "milk" as the lacteal secretion of a healthy hooved mammal and provides that a food product is unlawfully misbranded if its label states that it is milk and it fails to meet such definition, except for human breast milk. The bill directs the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services to implement a plan to ban all products misbranded as milk. The bill does not become effective until six months after the enactment, on or before October 1, 2029, of a similar act in any 11 of 14 specified states. Read the Bill »
