The Consistent Egg Labels Act of 2024 requires the Food and Drug Administration to enforce strict labeling standards for products that use egg-related names or terminology. The bill prohibits foods from being marketed using terms like "egg" or "egg product" unless they are actual eggs from avian poultry or officially recognized egg products as defined by federal regulations. This legislation affects manufacturers of plant-based and alternative protein products that may currently use egg-related language in their marketing. The FDA must issue draft guidance within 180 days of enactment and final guidance within one year on how it will enforce these labeling rules, and must report to Congress within two years on enforcement actions taken, including any warnings or penalties imposed on companies selling misbranded products.
