ND House votes on definition of milk
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – The dairy trade obtained a win Wednesday within the North Dakota State Legislature.
The Home of Representatives handed a invoice that adjustments the definition of milk in state legislation. The brand new definition says it’s lacteal secretion from a four-legged, wholesome, hooved mammal. What the invoice wouldn’t do is take away milk substitutes from retailer cabinets.
“That is actually simply to outline milk in Century Code. It isn’t requiring any labeling adjustments of those, so, whether or not they have to alter their labels or not change their labels, is admittedly not what this invoice is addressing. It actually doesn’t have an effect on any of the gross sales of almond milk, soy milk, no matter,” mentioned Rep. Lori VanWinkle, R-Minot.
The invoice handed by a vote of 78-15. Subsequent, it heads to the Senate ground.
