The "Defending Against Imitations and Replacements of Yogurt, milk, and cheese to Promote Regular Intake of Dairy Everyday Act," or DAIRY PRIDE Act, seeks to ensure accurate labeling of food products. Its primary purpose is to establish that no food can be introduced into interstate commerce using a standardized dairy product name unless it meets specific criteria for dairy products or the requirements for an imitation food. A dairy product is explicitly defined as being derived from the lacteal secretion of one or more hooved mammals. The bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to include these new provisions, specifically targeting terms for standardized dairy products found in federal regulations. To facilitate compliance, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the FDA, is required to issue draft guidance on enforcement within 90 days and final guidance within 180 days of the Act's enactment. Any existing guidance inconsistent with these new rules will be rendered ineffective. Additionally, the FDA must submit a report to Congress within two years detailing all enforcement actions, including warnings and penalties, and an updated enforcement plan if misbranded foods remain in the market.
