Wisconsin Sen Tammy Baldwin introduced legislation this month that would force the FDA to enforce the agency’s current food standards and ban plant-based products from being called “milk,” “cheese” and “yoghurt".
Baldwin argued that the products are mislabeled under the FDA’s current definition of milk and so are misleading consumers And they hurt dairy producers.
