1347. National Milk Producers Federation. 2010. FDA<br />

should stop imitation products from <strong>milk</strong>ing dairy terms,<br />

says NMPF (News release). 2101 Wilson Blvd., Suite 400,<br />

Arlington, VA 22201. 2 p. April 29.<br />

• Summary: “Arlington, VA–A decade after it fi rst asked<br />

the federal Food <strong>and</strong> Drug Administration to crack down on<br />

the misappropriation <strong>of</strong> dairy terminology on imitation <strong>milk</strong><br />

products, the National Milk Producers Federation today sent<br />

an<strong>other</strong> petition to the FDA, asserting that the practice has<br />

gotten worse in the past 10 years.<br />

“In its petition submitted April 29th, the NMPF contends<br />

that not only have the terms ‘<strong>soy</strong> <strong>milk</strong>’ <strong>and</strong> ‘<strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong>’<br />

continued to proliferate, but also <strong>other</strong> dairy-specifi c terms<br />

like ‘<strong>yogurt</strong>,’ ‘cheese,’ <strong>and</strong> ‘ice cream’ are now being used by<br />

products made out <strong>of</strong> a wide variety <strong>of</strong> non-dairy ingredients.<br />

“’The FDA has allowed the meaning <strong>of</strong> ‘<strong>milk</strong>’ to be<br />

watered down to the point where many products that use<br />

the term have never seen the inside <strong>of</strong> a barn,’ said Jerry<br />

Kozak, President <strong>and</strong> CEO <strong>of</strong> NMPF...” Address: Arlington,<br />
