Not so vegan
OPINION: New research has revealed that over a third of food products labelled as vegan in the UK contain animal ingredients, raising concerns about potential dangers for individuals with severe allergies.
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.
“Dairy farmers work tirelessly every day to ensure their milk meets high standards of nutritional value and quality; imitation products are using dairy’s good name for their [makers’] benefit.”
