Plant-based products should not be labeled as milk

Twenty-five bipartisan members of Congress say if it’s from soybeans, almond or rice, it should not be labeled as milk. They ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to investigate and take action against manufacturers of “milk” that doesn’t come from cows.

They want the FDA to require plant-based products to adopt a more appropriate name, other than milk, which they say is deceptive.
