The Senate has defeated a measure that would have protected plant-based companies who want to keep calling some of their dairy-free foods “milk,” “yogurt,” or “cheese.”
The amendment, by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, would have blocked the Food and Drug Administration from using government funds to enforce its definitions on all food and drink. It was defeated 84-14.
