Wisconsin’s dairymen are happy to see a proposed state law that would protect the word milk.
The state’s Dairy Business Association says lawmakers need to make sure that plant-based products cannot be labeled as milk. The DBA says one-third of people are confused by the new milks and cheeses that they see in the grocery store.
State Senator Howard Marklein and others want to ban anything that’s not made from cow, goat, sheep, or other animal milk from being called milk or cheese.
