Dear Commissioner Hamburg,
I encourage you to put a stop to the blatant and continued misuse of traditional dairy terms by manufacturers of plant-based substitutes (i.e., analogs made from soy, nuts, seeds, etc.). These products are imitations of milk and other dairy products which have Federal Standards of Identity and should be labeled as such.
FDA needs to enforce the standards of identity for “Milk”, “Yogurt”, “Sour Cream”, “Ice Cream”, and many varieties of “Cheese” which are currently being ignored and abused by marketers of these mislabeled products (e.g. “soy yogurt”, “non-dairy ice cream”, “rice milk”).
[Your optional product information] As an example, please see the product image at [link to product image], which was observed at [location] on [date].
