If it’s not from a cow or a goat, it may be labeled nut-squeezings on the supermarket shelf in Wisconsin.
The state Assembly yesterday okayed a Truth in Milk and a Truth in Meat law. State Rep. Travis Tranel says the idea is to make sure that milk is labeled as milk, and things like oat milk or almond milk are not. Tranel says not only do customers need to know what they are buying, but Wisconsin should support its dairy farmers. Menomonie state Rep. Clint Moses says milk comes from cows, and he says almond milk should be called ‘nut juice.’
