Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to the labeling of products enhanced with milk protein concentrates, caseins, or caseinates
Purpose or general idea of bill
Prohibits any product enhanced with milk protein concentrates, caseins, or caseinates from being labeled as dairy.
Summary of specific provisions
Adds a new subdivision 15 to Section 201 of the agriculture and markets law which provides that a food is misbranded if it fails to disclose the addition of milk protein concentrates, caseinates as an ingredient in the product.
Justification
Milk protein concentrates (MPCs), caseins, and casinates are nonfat milk products used in the manufacture of food, medicine, cosmetics, animal feed and industrial products. Foods that contain MPCs are currently allowed to be labeled as "dairy" products. This legislation will ensure that products artificially enhanced with MPCs cannot be labeled as a "dairy" product.
