Tenney commends Madison County\u2019s action against non-dairy products labeled as milk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-New York) commended the\u00a0actions<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0the Madison County Board of Supervisors in response to the resolution passed to address the mislabeling of non-dairy \u201cmilk.\u201d\u00a0Currently, Food and Drug Administration regulations define dairy products as being from dairy animals. However, the FDA has not enforced this regulation\u00a0and the liquid extracted from grains, seeds, beans or leaves of various plants are being processed and marketed as milk.<\/p>\n

\u201cDairy farmers are the backbone of our rural communities and economy,” Tenney said. “Traveling across the district, I\u2019ve listened to the problems facing our farmers and I\u2019ve taken their concerns with me to Washington.\u00a0Mislabeled imitation dairy including soy and almond milk greatly hurt our dairy farmers, and I am glad Madison County has worked to address this issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Congress, I cosponsored the DAIRY PRIDE Act and helped pass into law legislation that directs the FDA to take action against mislabeled imitation dairy foods. I was pleased to see that FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb announced plans to begin this process soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tenney says she has led the charge against the negative impact of the Canadian Class 7 milk pricing, which was eliminated as part of the new United States, Mexico, Canada Agreement.\u00a0She is also a co-sponsor of the School Milk Nutrition Act, which allows schools to offer low-fat (1-percent) milk to students rather than just fat-free, and the WHOLE MILK Act which would allow schools to offer whole milk as an option to students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
