Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA) applaude U.S. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) as she reintroduced the DAIRY PRIDE Act<\/a>, requiring products made from nuts, seeds, plants, and algae to no longer be mislabeled with dairy terms such as milk, cheese or yogurt.\u00a0 Current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards define dairy products as being made from the milk of dairy animals, but the agency has not enforced its own regulation, enabling a rapid rise in the mislabeling of plant-based imitation dairy products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmericans deserve clear, truthful labels as they choose the foods they buy and serve to their families,\u201d said John Umhoefer, Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association Executive Director.  \u201cWe are grateful for Sen. Baldwin\u2019s work to ensure greater transparency in the marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A consumer study<\/a>, sponsored in part by WCMA, showed that one-quarter of people believe real milk is present in plant-based foods that mimic cheese.  One-third of those studied think plant-based mimics contain protein, though some imitators have little to no protein.  One-quarter think plant-based mimics are lower in calories or fat, and have fewer additives, but neither perception is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe makers of cheese imitations would like you to think their products offer better nutrition, but that\u2019s simply not the case,\u201d said WCMA President Dave Buholzer of Klondike Cheese Company in Monroe, Wisconsin.  \u201cMilk and cheese naturally deliver nutrients like calcium and protein and potassium like none of the imitation products can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDairy farmers and processors have worked for generations to develop our reputation for delivering nutritious, delicious foods.  It\u2019s no wonder that the makers of plant-based imitators would want to label their foods with dairy names \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t make it right,\u201d said Marieke Penterman, owner and cheesemaker at Marieke Gouda in Thorp, Wisconsin.  \u201cThanks go to Sen. Baldwin for standing up for consumers, farmers, and cheesemakers like me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen consumers buy foods labeled as cheese, yogurt and ice cream at the grocery store, they\u2019re expecting those products to be made with real milk, and not a plant-based imitator,\u201d said Jeff Schwager, President of Sartori Company in Plymouth, Wisconsin.  \u201cCurrent labeling is misleading to many, and we encourage members of Congress to join Sen. Baldwin in her important effort to deliver truth in food product labeling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DAIRY PRIDE Act is a bipartisan, bicameral proposal with U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho) joining Sen. Baldwin in its reintroduction. U.S. Representatives Peter Welch (D-Vermont) and Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) are introducing companion legislation in the House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
