The National Milk Producers Federation is urging food regulators to take enforcement action against an imitation dairy product.
The Federation recently sent letters to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture, requesting enforcement action against “Blue Magic Cashew Milk” for ignoring federal standards of identity for dairy products.
National Milk Producers Federation Spokesperson Chis Galen says the use of the standardized dairy term “milk” on a plant-based imitation made mostly from nuts and water is a violation of government standards defining milk as the product of a dairy animal.
