The DAIRY PRIDE Act would restrict the use of dairy product names (such as "milk," "yogurt," and "cheese") on food labels to products that actually contain dairy as their primary ingredient or are derived from milk produced by hooved mammals. The bill affects food manufacturers and marketers of plant-based and other non-dairy alternatives that currently use dairy terminology. The Food and Drug Administration must issue draft guidance within 90 days and final guidance within 180 days of the bill's enactment on how it will enforce these labeling rules, and must report to Congress within two years on enforcement actions taken, including warnings and penalties. No specific funding is provided in the legislation, which relies on existing FDA resources for implementation and oversight.
