Republicans and Democrats in Congress this week introduced legislation aimed at banning the sale of dairy alternatives labeled as “milk” even though they are made from nuts, seeds or other non-dairy sources.

The DAIRY PRIDE Act, which stands for Defending Against Imitations and Replacements of Yogurt, Milk, and Cheese To Promote Regular Intake of Dairy Everyday, from Reps. Peter Welch, D-Vt., and Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, hopes to fight the spread of alternatives to dairy products, such as almond milk.
