One of the state’s U.S. Senators wants to ban non-dairy products from being labeled as a dairy product.
Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin says there are laws in place that set standards for the industry. She thinks farmers work hard to meet those. She says some products claim to be cheese, yogurt or milk, but are actually plant-based.
The Madison Democrat believes the dairy industry is also suffering because of tariffs from the trade war. She says hundreds of Wisconsin dairy farms have closed over the last couple of years.
