The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has extended the comment period for a notice related to the use of dairy food names like "milk," "cultured milk," "yogurt," and "cheese" for plant-based products. The agency will accept public comment through Jan. 28, 2019.
The comments are meant to inform the agency's development of an approach to the labeling of plant-based products that consumers may substitute for dairy foods. It previously asked that comments be submitted by November 27, 2018, but received requests for an extension because the current 60-day comment period does not allow sufficient time to develop meaningful or thoughtful responses to the questions that appeared in the notice requesting data and other evidence in support of answers.
